about

It's about Donald Trump - hopefully long in the rearview now - and his views on immigration. Everybody knows developed countries need immigrants because we've fallen below replacement birthrates and immigration is necessary to achieve economic growth and have a social safety net for an aging demographic. So Donald's issue backed by his supporters has to do with the colour of the skin, the religious beliefs, and the foreign culture being imported. I guess we're playing Trouble, but this kind of trouble is no fun.

lyrics

Simonymous 84344

Chinese checkers come from a foreign land
Just another immigrant like Settlers of Catan
A hard Scrabble life and a Checkered past
A Risk you're forced to take when they're speaking Balderdash

Everybody's Sorry say there's Trouble in the country
Speak like they're nothing but a Barrel Full of Monkeys
Mean Mr. Mustard roars we need to get a Clue
Be orange like him or they'll flush you down the Chutes

We've landed on history in Trivial Pursuit
Yes it was the Mayflower now others follow suit
All those houses and hotels in your Monopoly
The Scattergory is those that clean our properties

The name of the game is called who got here first
Mother may we keep them out protect the public purse
The irony's not lost on any of the natives
Shaking hands will fail if you're playing Operation
The Mastermind brags he's playing Yahtzee
Sink his Battleship before he lands his Nazis
