Story behind the song

A new look new words but really very much the same old same old . Trump has nothing to offer unless your real rich.

Lyrics

Oxyimandis king of kings was once his fearful name
all who enter there would have to tremble  bow down in shame
Now his kingdom in dust decay oh you know its long gone
When the elephants in the room nothing new under the sun

Now ive been a thinking all the day long about hitler and the king
How we lost our bearings do we know whats the right thing
The world is in a wobble the air it seems weighs a ton
When the elephants in the room nothing new under the sun

Some will make you richer some will leave you poor
some will want your body and some will want much more
And some will show you justice at the end of a gun
When the elephants in the room nothing new under the sun

Oh iM thinking about Mary Jane and Mother Mary Breaking down
Something known it has been lost and something lost is found
All the treasures ofthe ancient kings they stole them just for fun
When the elephants in the room nothing new under the sun

Now in 1700 they brought the black man cross the sea
Took him chained and crying in utter misery
And they still havent got over this bad thing that they done
When the elephants in the room nothing new under the sun

Some they come a calling with a firebrand of war
Some they say this was what the earth was made for
And some they 
When the elephants in the room nothing new in the sun

Now the politics of divide and hate they try the common man
Its running on your tv sets all across this wounded land
SOme say the truth dont count just  spin then get it spun
When the elephants in the room nothing new under the sun

Now greed it was born when the first man found the lie
I can sell them anything just wrap it up real nice
I can make them think when they lost they won
When the elephants in the room nothing new under the sun

Now there was this businessmam  made his buildings mountains high
said he was the lord and master of the earth and of the sky
But all of his towering lies tumbled one by one
When the elephants in the room nothing new under the sun (2x)

Cool production and vibe Roger. Great lyrics and vocals that deliver them. Nice retro vibe and very cool outro! That guitar must've been on fire at the end.

Hi Roger,
     Well as always you have a message and a story to tell.
Great metaphors.   Probably some of your best lyrics. And your performance is strong. While I can see anyone having concerns with Trump,  he certainly is a dice spin I am willing to take given the thought of the most corrupt politician in the history of the united states as the other choice and after 8 years of division, corruption and putting America last we will not survive 4 more years with what she would do to the supreme court.  We have progressives trying to turn us into a happy piece of the global disaster authored by George Soros.  She should be in Jail for what she has done.     
P.S.  About a week ago I was looking though some old messages on a song and I saw you and I had a back and forth and I said I liked Trump that was 2011 and I love his basic message protect borders, Put America first and redo trade agreements unfortunately he was great in a few sentences larger doses must be taken with caution.

Noticed Carlo talk about Dylan and must say myself too it has a Dylan vibe to it. Great expression in very well written lyrics. 
Cool and unexpected outro. 

Well done!

A great insight and perspective on the media circus that surrounds so many politicians and media figures - they use all the right words and make the right promises, but ultimately they have their own agenda. They know how to appeal to people's needs and fears. Excellent writing and performance.
