About the song
When the President editorializes the "work" of Congress (and we use that term reluctantly) far more than any other in history, he confirms our fears that he is a power-hungry ego-maniac. But we digress.....
Lyrics
Every time they’re makin’ laws I wonder “Will I like it?”
Since I’m the real Decider I can choose to strike it.
Rules an’ regulations ‘R somethin’ to be chopped.
Whistle-blowers burn me up; I mean they must be stopped

CHORUS:
Above the law, heck, I am the law;
I don’t know what you think that I signed.
No matter what you saw, it wasn’t what you saw;
Signed, Sealed, Delivered, You’re mine.
Signed, Sealed, Delivered, You’re mine.

Immigration chills my gills; see the way they walk?
They’re up ta somethin’ fishy; ain’t English that they talk.
Pass a law, judge a case, I cannot guarantee
You’ll find it in the Homeland unless it’s good fer me.

CHORUS

Check the Federal Register; get the latest list
Of rules that I will probably ignore.
Burn the Constitution to an autocratic crisp
Th’ Court’ll sweep the ashes out th’ door.

Seven Hunert fifty times I signed a law I hated.
Then I wrote th’ reason why I’d hafta disobey it.
It’s really tough to elevate substandard leg-expression;
I’ll tell ya all you need to know ‘bout torture and repression.

CHORUS
