Invasion of wildfires and floods?
Who? Who can fire droughts and
Layoff atmospheric rivers? Who?

And career criminals? Who? Who give the
Most pardons to police and soldier thugs

Take the biggest fall? Who? Who execute
The most in the least amount of time? Who’s
Life is a career of white collar crime? Who?
Who have the biggest, whitest rallies and parades?
Who tryin to kill the most Africans with AIDS? Who?
Who say find me the most votes in the Peach State?
