The President’s Song but it's Mexican, grim, punk af, and by Molotov instead of the Animaniacs
Lyric translation:
I was born on a day in January
in times of Echeverria
I wasn't from money, or from a reputable family
From among the missing, young and confused
They didn't help them, they just managed
After raising the kids, a certain López Portillo came
According to this, widely well read
Very arrogant and conceited
Like a dog, they were told, they would defend the peso
But the dog was a bloodhound
and he wanted to steal that bone.
From almost that same profile, also from the ranks of the PRI
To screw us for six years, came a certain De La Madrid
When in times of the earthquake he didn't help the Mexicans
His narcissism managed more, and instead he washed his hands
The remedy for the selfishness of this kind of scorpion:
He preferred to bite himself and end himself
He could not dirty the image of a president more
That at the world cup party
All people whistled at him:
“Paloma Cordero, your husband is an asshole!”
[Chorus]
Raise your hand if any of them have helped you
We do not forget, here we remind you
Raise your hand if any of them have helped you
We do not forget, here we make a note on them
Raise your hand if any of them have helped you
We do not forget, here we remind you
Raise your hand if any of them have helped you
We do not forget, here we make a note on them
I didn't know what was coming, but a certain Salinas was coming
Genius of the economy, to leave us in ruins
From the Secretary of Programs and Budgets
The doctor and teacher sneaked in to take away what is ours
This one pocketed the money, he thought we were dumbasses
He removed three zeros and exchanged them for new pesos
They had to find a way to shrink their balls
With the typical “dedazo” they assigned us to Cedillo
A certain Vicente Fox came, according to this, with a change
He came to heat the saddle, but that one of his horse
He put Martita (his wife) to work as his lackey
Vacations at the ranch with everything paid
Then came Calderón from the Libre de Derecho
He did almost everything wrong, he left everything battered
Before security he did not give in to twist that arm
He hit the criminal hard, he hit the booze harder
What happens is that the band is drunk
They are drunk, they are drunk
[Chorus]
Then Peña Nieto came announcing the following:
That from that moment on anyone can be president
This one barely learned the alphabet
Already in that six-year term almost everything was an ordeal
They made us a montage like that of a telenovela
And as the main actress they brought Angelica Rivera
The image of the PRI was a very handsome young man
That they put there to take care of that position
López Obrador came from the country of hugs
He does almost everything right
But I have other data
He blames everything bad on all of the previous ones
Because they were all corrupt, because they were conservatives
He ended corruption with a white handkerchief
He devastated the pandemic with images of a saint
[Chorus]
Raise your hand if any of them have helped you
We do not forget, here we remind you
Raise your hand if they have been detrimental for you
We do not forget, here we make a note on them
Raise your hand if any of them have helped you
We do not forget, here we remind you
Raise your hand if they have been detrimental for you
We do not forget, here we make a note on them

Five shootings within these last 2 weeks; 2 of them were hate crimes, 1 of them was in my city, and 2 of them involved children.
I’m overwhelmed, and yet I feel myself growing more and more numb. I honestly don’t have much left to say. Nothing fancy or powerful. I am tired. I am done.
Fuck your guns. Fuck the RNC. Fuck those spineless DNC chickenshits who have passively allowed this violence to be perpetuated against our lives and our civil rights. Fuck your anti-gun control, anti-mask, anti-vaccine, anti-universal healthcare, and “pro-life” hypocrisies. Fuck your ”state’s rights” and pro-state sponsored tyranny hypocrisies. Fuck your bigotry. Fuck your corporate donors. Fuck the wealth you have amassed at our expense.
And fuck your American pride, because you have failed as leaders of this nation, you have failed the people of this nation, and we have failed as a nation.
