SING IT to the tune of Help! (Beatles)

(Help!) We need each other
(Help!) Or we won’t recover
(Help!) You know we need each other
(Help!)

When I was younger I thought right could win the day
But now we have a president who’s wrong in ev’ry way.
There’s nothing good too big or small for him to cast away
He’s such a petty tyrant, can’t we make him go away?

Chorus:
Help us if you can, we’re underground
We need to turn this craziness around
We’ve got to get our feet back on the ground
Can’t we please, please, break free?

He’s just a tool of oligarchs who rule the world today
They chose him to wreak havoc, he does every day
He has no heart, no conscience, he’s their perfect tool
Distracts us with his craziness, acting like a fool.

Ev’ry day’s a challenge when we see the latest news
There’s no one he’s not after, thinks he can never lose
Trans kids, science, immigrants, the list goes on and on
The misery he sows will haunt us long after he’s gone

Chorus

Help us! Help us, ooh
