Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame
Not like the words you say with disdain
With conquering limbs astride from land to land
Nothing Trump says or does is all that grand
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
You don't look for honor, you look for fans
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Shines brighter than the Trump empire name
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Still greater than anything Trump proclaims
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Reaches out to every woman and man
Glows worldwide welcome; her mild eyes command
Respect and honor is something she'll demand

Emma Lazarus had a dream similar to Martin Luther King
Her words inscribed for eternity on the Statue of Liberty
Emma Lazarus had a dream similar to Martin Luther King
Her words inscribed for eternity on the Statue of Liberty

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame
Cut to children in cages in a waiting game
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
America, wake from four years of sleep
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free
NOT, "Give me your tired, your poor who can stand on their own two feet
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore
Stop acting like Vladimir Putin's whore
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me
To live in a country where they can be free
I lift my lamp beside the golden door
It won't be long before Trump's no more

Emma Lazarus had a dream similar to Martin Luther King
Her words inscribed for eternity on the Statue of Liberty
Emma Lazarus had a dream similar to Martin Luther King
Her words inscribed for eternity on the Statue of Liberty

The people of America won't take these lies anymore
The blue wave is going to crash into these shores
We're going to demand our government listen to our pleas
And set out for the real American dream
We'll be free from your corruption and lies
And welcome the 2020 Millennial tide

Emma Lazarus had a dream similar to Martin Luther King
Her words inscribed for eternity on the Statue of Liberty
Emma Lazarus had a dream similar to Martin Luther King
Her words inscribed for eternity on the Statue of Liberty
