Earning My Derision

Earning My Derision
(to the tune of Losing My Religion by R.E.M.)

Your lies are bigger
They're bigger than you
And you are not nice
The lengths that you will go to

The disdain in your eyes

Oh, please, don't say that stuff
You're fucking up

That's you at the rally
That's you in the spotlight
Sowing your dissension
I try to withstand your lies

And I don't know if I can do it
Oh, no, you've said too much
You never could shut up

I can always hear you sneering
Your insults are meant to sting
You always play the bully

Every moment
Of every waking hour
You choose to drag me down
I try to find some good in you

Like a hurt, lost and blinded MAGA fool
Oh, no, I've lost too much
I've been set up

Consider this
Consider this, the hint of the century
Consider this, your whip
That brought me to my knees, failed

What if all your fantasies come
Flailing down
Oh, yes, you're fucking up

I can always hear you sneering
Your insults are meant to sting
You always play the bully

And I can only scream
All I have are screams

That's you at the rally
That's you in the spotlight
Earning my derision
I try to withstand your lies

And I don't know if I can do it
Oh, no, you've said too much
You never could shut up

I can always hear you sneering
Your insults are meant to sting
You always play the bully

And the pain won't go away
Try, cry, why try?
That’s my nightmare scream
Just a scream
Just a scream, scream
