The Bully Needs a Target Songtext
Mr. President
The mullahs got you nervous
The ceasefire′s shaky
The talk's uncertain
Inflation hitting levels Americans haven′t seen in years
And somehow
You've decided the biggest threat to America
Is Giorgia Meloni?
Man
That's interesting
Woo!
You called Biden sleepy
You called Biden sloppy
Said you′d fix inflation
Said you′d bring prices down properly
But now the numbers screaming
People feeling pain
And somehow you're spending weekends starting fights again
Not with Tehran
Not with rising costs
Not with the grocery bills families counting at a loss
No
You′re fighting Giorgia
The woman protecting Italy
While Americans asking "Who's protecting me?"
The bully needs a target
The bully needs a fight
If he can′t win abroad
He'll argue through the night
The bully needs attention
The bully needs a stage
And everybody else gets caught up in the rage
You said she begged for pictures
She said "Neither I nor Italy beg"
You questioned her popularity
She said "Focus on yours instead"
You wanted bases open
She said "We have agreements too"
Funny
She sounds like a leader doing what leaders do
Putting Italians first
Protecting the nation
Something Americans wish they saw from their administration
You once called her friend
Remember those days?
The inauguration
The handshakes
The praise
But now she′s disagreeing
And suddenly she's weak
Funny how friendship ends when people choose to speak
Even the Pope caught strays
Allies catching heat
Everybody becomes an enemy when they don't repeat
What you wanna hear
What you wanna see
But loyalty ain′t ownership
Mr. President
People free
Maybe strength ain′t shouting
Maybe strength ain't pride
Maybe strength is listening
Instead of picking sides
Maybe leadership ain′t insults
Maybe leadership ain't blame
Maybe real power don′t need to call names
Mr. President
America needs peace
America needs growth
America needs hope
Not another feud
Not another grudge
Not another ally thrown under the bus
Inflation don't care about insults
Markets don′t care about feelings
And history
History only remembers results
So while the mullahs negotiate
And Giorgia protects Italy
Americans are left asking
"Who's protecting us?"
Pros and plastics
Stop listening to the spin
Look at the math
The mullahs got you nervous
The ceasefire′s shaky
The talk's uncertain
Inflation hitting levels Americans haven′t seen in years
And somehow
You've decided the biggest threat to America
Is Giorgia Meloni?
Man

Woo!
