They're building a wall on the border.
They question which God you revere.
The military men have their orders
to weed out the liberals and queers.
The nation is ravaged with violence.
His critics are seeking asylum.

The U.S. lies in ruin - go figure 
why the wider world is gripped with fear:
President Trump has control of the nuclear trigger.

He's ripped up the free trade agreements.
He treats arms-control with derision,
replacing his country's achievements
with sexist and racist division.
How does it come that this tower
of crassness, who only craved power

to pump his swollen ego bigger
can fry the Earth with off-the-cuff decisions?
How did he purchase control of the nuclear trigger?

2016 was decisive.
The UN was steering a path
away from the world climate crisis,
cutting emissions in half.
But good sense has vanished - Goddammit! -
and now when we plead for our planet,

disdaining intellectual rigour
the new White House incumbent sits and laughs,
because President Trump has control of the nuclear trigger.

In Britain we build ourselves shelters,
not from the storms of the season
but fallout from whims of that welter
of voters complicit in treason
- treason to mankind, whose ruin
took guise of a madman, pursuing 

Armageddon with the vigour
of one whose mind is unconstrained by reason.
President Trump has control of the nuclear trigger.

Some crisis will sooner or later 
come tumbling out of the blue
- Russia, Iran or Al Qaeda -
to challenge the President's view
that the mighty American nation 
can function in pure isolation.

He'll give the order with a snigger
and there is nothing anyone can do
now President Trump has control of the nuclear trigger.
