Confines

just the latest tool of the right
brought in to the fold
designed to inspire the trust
he'll ultimately destroy

bait and switch
we've seen this before
the empty promises of a confidence man
all your folksy bullshit still betrays that you're talking from both sides of your mouth

you can pander all you like
assert your independence
but I still fucking see
the conservative stripes you'd like to hide
anointed and crowned the golden child
the fear fuckers media darling
and we're expected to believe that you're free from the chains around your neck

with intended disrespect it's the people's seat
and we're tired of watching it be co-opted by assholes like you

my outrage is not for your political gain
