Get a load of Elon

(sing to the tune of “The Weight” by The Band)

He pulled into Washington
A black MAGA cap on his head
He spent a ton of cash
to put a felon in our bed
“Hey this is what we sold you
you’re about to see some red”
He smiled a shitty grin
and stomped a loaf of bread
Get a load of Elon
He’s the chainsaw king
Get a load of Elon
And (and, and)
Watch the bloody-DOGE chainsaw swing
Gonna fuck democracy
Says the oligarchic bro
Create an autocracy
Control all the money flow
“Hey this what we sold you
now you see how much it blows
He smiled a shitty grin
Singing “greed’s the seed we sow“
Get a load of Elon
He’s the chainsaw king
Get a load of Elon
And (and, and)
Watch the bloody-DOGE chainsaw swing
Killing all the agencies
that assist the weak and poor
Indiscriminate firings
Pushing veterans out the door
“Hey this what we sold you
no need to be so sore”
and he smiled a shitty grin
at the blood that’s on the floor
Get a load of Elon
He’s the chainsaw king
Get a load of Elon
And (and, and)
Watch the bloody-DOGE chainsaw swing
A Sieg Heil to fascism
Gonna kill the D E I
Give Putin all he wants
Gonna watch the Gazan’s die
“Hey this what we sold you
So, you better not bat an eye
He smiles a shitty grin
and pokes fun at all who cry
Get a load of Elon
He’s the chainsaw king
Get a load of Elon
And (and, and)
Watch the bloody-DOGE chainsaw swing
