The OED defines Humpty Dumpty as “A person or thing that once overthrown cannot be restored”
Separated children, that’s an emergency
Locked in a cage, that’s an emergency
Desperate parents, that’s an emergency
In grief-stricken rage, that’s an emergency
The water in Flint, still poisoned today
Racist greed, that’s an emergency
That won’t go away, that’s an emergency
Chorus: Your ego’s big, but your brain is small
And you think you’re the king of us all
From high atop your vicious border wall
Trumpty Dumpty, we’re gonna make you fall
Melting glaciers, that’s an emergency
Rising seas, that’s an emergency
Burning forests, that’s an emergency
Dying bees, that’s an emergency
Anti-Semites and the KKK
Targeting Muslims, Mexicans and gays
Lying and buying and trying to silence
Profiting from unending gun violence
Assault and harassment of women and girls
The venom you spew all over this world
Filling the swamp with corporate gators
Emboldening every last one of the haters
Installing your family of swindlers and traitors
And kissing up . . . to all the dictators
