Down in Louisville, Kentucky in the whitest neighborhood
Where the people bet on horses and the chicken’s not as good
Lives an old decrepit turtle cashing corporations' checks
And the transportation secretary gnawing on his neck
Sending cops to kill black people, while the virus rages free
Why would you tax the rich just to save the economy
When instead you’ll get propped up by more disgusting super PACs
It’s really quite a shame that no one’s stabbed you in the back
People are dying ‘cause of you
Tell me, what the hell is praying gonna do
CHORUS:
Oh, Mitch (won’t you crawl back into your shell)
Oh, Mitch (let’s send you down to turtle hell)
Oh, Mitch (our country isn’t yours to sell)
Can’t we make a choice for ourselves, ow!
With a little help from Moscow, each November is a breeze
Now bipartisanship’s good and dead, so you do what you please
I can't seem to find your heart, I assume you're made of tin
You can't pick a fight with China just because they stole your chin
All these bills to fix things up are in your graveyard underground
You know none of this would fly if Merrick Garland was around
Stopping everyone from blabbing so your party doesn't fall
You all claim to be white men but we can't seem to find your balls
We know you only made it to third base
We can see the Cheeto dust all o’er your face
CHORUS
Lady Liberty may still have class
But she’ll gladly shove that torch right up your...(ahhhh)
CHORUS
Oh, Mitch, subhuman scum
Why don’t you go back to where you came from
Oh, Mitch, your time will come
Maybe someday we can make a choice for ourselves, ah-ah-ow!
