Our attention is caught by his shiny baubles,
his filthy lucre flows freely to all.
Buying into the lies of a practiced deceiver,
is like banging your head on the wall.

His promises are nothing but bait,
cast out to the masses like chum.
His purpose is turning believers,
into drug addled communist scum.

He's loose with his lips and his money,
he's quick passing out unearned rewards.
He will show you his path to destruction,
and his goals that you're working towards.

He will heap on his form of endearments,
he'll treat you like his favorite pet.
He will promise the moon and the stars,
and break your will with unending debt.

Your dreams are his to be shattered,
your heart is set up to be broken.
You'll realize when it's far to late,
it's only lies adversarily spoken.

When he walks away with your soul,
you will lay in the gutter and cry.
You have only greed and desire to blame,
for blindly putting faith in his lies.
