Jessica Yateman Love the reworked version & the B side! can't wait to finally receive red vinyl in the mail. Also, January 20, 2021 cannot come soon enough. I'm sure it'll be quite a spectacle when they drag him from the White House, kicking and screaming.

The President by Robyn Hitchcock The President is threatening us In his bright red tie He’s in the Oval Office Like a pig inside a sty I know you’re out there I know you’re out there somewhere I know you’re out there When I hear the word ‘Democracy’ I reach for my headphones He’s radiating hatred from Each presidential pore How does he come to rule this land? Who does he rule it for? You know I’m out here But you can’t see me darling You know I’m out here When I hear the word ‘Security’ I reach for my cellphone Woah woah woah He’s holding up a Bible While the rubber bullets fly He’s holding up a Bible but He cannot quote one line I know you’re out there I know you’re out there somewhere God knows you’re out there I can almost hear it raining I can almost hear it raining I can almost hear it raining
