"Blinded By the Right" (to the tune of Manfred Mann's "Blinded By the Light")
Blinded by the right
Trumped up like a douche, without an honest bone in sight
Blinded by the right
Trumped up like a douche, without an honest bone in sight
Blinded by the right
Trumped up like a douche, without an honest bone in sight
Chanting “FREEDOM!” again
Being told what to say, what to believe, and how to vote
The speaker – the leader, heard from a ghostly savior
“Science is a damn hoax!”
“Just read Galatians, Philippians, Two Corinthians”
Prayer always the answer
Reaction just when inaction becomes action
“Groundhog Day” for the 12th time this year
“Groundhog Day” for the 12th time this year
They were so blinded by the right
Trumped up like a douche, without an honest bone in sight

Blinded by the right
Trumped up like a douche, without an honest bone in sight
Blinded by the right
Trumped up like a douche, without an honest bone in sight
“Being employed there myself, trust me when I say this”
“Never trust the government!”
“So trust me with your money; send it all my way!”
“The Caymans will take care of it”
The speaker bragged; the crowd clapped; giving into the scam
“This could be you someday,” he said
“Making money; doing nothing; ending American dreams”
“That’s no quid pro quo, just pay-for-play”
“No quid pro quo, just pay-for-play”
They were so blinded by the right
Trumped up like a douche, without an honest bone in sight
Blinded by the right
As they wear blindfolds throughout their lives
Honest truth is their kryptonite
Honest truth is their kryptonite
Happens when fear and faith collide
Happens when fear and faith collide
There’s no rhyme nor reason to follow this Oompa-Loompa madman
Happens when fear and faith collide
Trick or treat; pay the least; starving many, as they feast
Born into riches
Blinded by envy and greed; they think money falls from trees
Inheritance? “We built it!”
“If you work as hard as me, you can have all these nice things!”
Set your conscience aside
Claim to b’LIEve all you speak, contrary to reality
Hands on the Bible and lie
