It was the year 2-0-1-6 when it went down, it went south
Celebrity lives were crumbling, way way too young
David Bowie left us then and there, very first thing, back in January
And then it seemed that, out of nowhere, the Donald started winning everything, and

Oh Christ, we are some dumb Americans
Dumb Americans, dumb Americans, we are some dumb Americans
Alt-right, we are some dumb Americans

We veered right into Iowa and New Hampshire
Then we heard that Prince was gone
Then Donald knocked out Bush Carson and Christie, meanwhile we lost Muhammed Ali
And as we freaked over his hype and his bragging
And we learned about his little hands
Dear Gene Wilder got swooped right along, and then we all cried when George Martin was gone

And oh Christ, we are some dumb Americans
Kind of arrogant, so embarrassin', we are some dumb Americans
Alt-right, we are some dumb Americans

Do you remember, old president Nixon
Do you remember the ills he brought our way
We're back to yesterday

He's a Kim Jong Un-American, and without Severus Snape to guide us
Believing smears and rumors and lies, who cares if the Kremlin compromises us

Nyet nyet nyet, there's no Russian aggression, you're just blinded by your mass depression
Without Mrs. Brady we make lousy decisions, and R2D2 isn't in remission

And now Zsa Zsa is gone, and goodbye to Leonard Cohen
But why'd we have to elect this dope, just because our hearts are broken and

Oh Christ, we are some dumb Americans
We lost Garry Shandlin', and Merle Haggard and, we are some dumb Americans
Alt-right, we are some dumb Americans

He's just a pimp and he's just a hustler
He's filling the swamp with his billionaire monsters
Denying climate-change, and grabbing all of the wealth and
Taking charity money buying paintings of himself, yeah

I read fake news today, oh boy
We got beat in a stunning defeat
Rich white man says whatever he wants
Brags about grabbing ladies by the… birth canal

Really doesn't matter if he always gets busted
She erased some emails, so she can't be trusted
See how you feel when medicare is gone
And all because we had to go and tell… Princess Leia and her mom goodbye...

Oh Christ, we are some dumb Americans
Kind of arrogant, so embarrassin', we are some dumb Americans
Alt-right, we are some dumb Americans

I want John Glenn back, I want Glenn Frye, and Jose Fernandez
Oh my God, hang on Betty White

Too many, too many gone
We lost Leon Russell, we lost Ron Glass, and George Michael, WHAM they're all gone

Growing Pains hurt, dammit… and that's not right, it's not right, it's not right alt-right
We are some dumb Americans
