"Eyein' Lies"

Trump's trophy wives just seem to find out early,
How to open doors with just a smile
A rich old man,
And she won't have to worry.
She'll dress up in gold belts and go in style.

Late at night the big White House gets lonely,
I guess every form of refuge has its price,
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only,
Given to a man with hands as small as mice.

So she tells him she must go back to the penthouse
To take care of their son, who's still in school.
But she knows why she's going, Don's a real louse,
But she married him, so who's the bigger fool?

Trump can't hide, we're eyeing your lies,
And your style is a thing despised,
I thought by now you'd realize
Donald, you can't hide, we're eyeing your lies.

Down at Mar-a-Lago, a man-boy's tweeting,
With puffy eyes and skin like an orange peel.
Does he know how his time in power is fleeting?
'Cause there isn't any art to his crude deal.

She pushes off his arm; when they walk together
She whispers that he's really rather vile,
She swears that soon he'll go away forever,
She pulls away and gives him a false smile.

Trump can't hide, we're eyeing your lies,
And your style is a thing despised,
I thought by now you'd realize
Donald, you can't hide, we're eyeing your lies.

She made her choice, she knows it was the wrong one,
And rues the day she married this gross guy.
Their prenup, it really was a strong one.
She'll still get screwed if she tells Don goodbye.

She wonders how he ever got this crazy.
She thinks his Cabinet is stocked with tools
Will he get impeached or is the reply hazy.
It seems that they don't follow ironclad rules.

My oh my, you sure know how to say strange things.
You talk about girls, like your daughters, tastelessly.
Ain't it funny how you do so many deranged things?
The world all thinks you're half out of your tree.

You can't hide, we're eyeing your lies
And your smile is a thing despised
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide, we're eyeing your lies
There ain't no way to hide, we're eyeing your lies.
Donny, you can't hide your lyin' eyes.
