The Art of the Coverup
Secrets buried beneath the sacred scepter,Where the lies get longer and the truth gets deader.
[Verse 1]
He came down the escalator, hair like a flame,
Said he’d drain the swamp, but it stayed the same.
Built a kingdom of gold on a scaffolding lie,
Now he's polishing statues while justice walks by.
There's a woman in Texas, who used to procure,
Now she's teachin' puppies, her conscience obscure.
She whispered two days to the feds down in Tallahassee,
Then got a room with Elizabeth Holmes and a smoothie.
[Chorus]
Secrets buried beneath the sacred scepter,
Where the lies get longer and the truth gets deader.
No one's clean, but some get clever—
It’s the art of the coverup, baby, now more than ever. 🎶
[Verse 2]
They say it’s not the crime, it’s the mop and the spin,
The shredded notes, the winks, the grin.
Tricky Dick had tapes, Bill had a cigar,
Donny’s got a scepter, buried not too far.
“Don’t touch it without gloves,” the legend goes,
A germaphobe’s wand with a trail of woes.
But you can’t bleach truth or red-line guilt,
When a temple of power’s built on silt.
[Chorus]
Secrets buried beneath the sacred scepter,
Where the guilty grin and the cronies fester.
Truth is broke, and trust is lesser,
It’s the art of the coverup, taught by a jester. 🎶
[Bridge]
There’s a leak in the system, a rot in the dome,
Where justice gets filtered like espresso foam.
The people stopped asking, they’re tired of the play,
Where the crooks take a bow and truth walks away.
[Verse 3]
Now democracy coughs through a mask of doubt,
While the emperor tweets his next bailout.
Loyalty oaths and a DOJ squad,
All kneel politely to the new demigod.
We used to believe in laws and grace,
Now it’s just rich men saving face.
If the sacred scepter’s your north star, friend,
You best prepare for a scepter-shaped end.
[Final Chorus]
Secrets buried beneath the sacred scepter,
Where the spin gets faster and the dark gets denser.
Power plays the role of protector—
It’s the art of the coverup… now the main director. 🎶
[Outro]
So raise a glass to the rule of law...
Wait, no—just kidding. It’s gone.
