I seriously doubt that anyone has ever written a Donald Trump-inspired parody of the Grateful Dead classic... Terrapin Station. This could very well be the most repugnant musical composition ever conceived.
Come to think of it, I doubt that anyone has ever tried to cover Terrapin. Very challenging lyrical progression.
Yesterday, I gave it a crack. Consider it a self-inflicted birthday present... to myself. And to a lesser extent, Jerry Garcia.
‘Merican Nation
sonofsaf
Stormy Daniels’ camel toe
Lake Tahoe crime she took his jism
Has the biggest titties
That female’s a horseface cunt
Pile of MAGA right shitshow
Job to blow and more blame you know
Some thing’s are so obscene
That mother fucker
Porno softcore failure storming
Trump smells foul like chloroform
Clown all the while, a big fat baby
Fuckin’ queer will blow
Coup d’etat is the big plan
A tiny mushroom Crooks shot him
Jew Kushner’s very white
A fuckin’ cunt
Style of Oath Keepers and freaks
The Proud Boys fury fire speaks
Clarence Thomas token
And The Donald’s balding hair
Lies ain’t right a pubic scare
And The Donald’s taint despair
Insurrection and bullshit
From a lyin’ man
Kristi Noem will rot in hell
As Sarah Palin rings a bell
Kushner’s a fuckin’ Jew
Not Catholic like J.D. Vance
The Donald is the reason why
He’ll order Big Mac with large fries
His penis has no length
Trump Dump cum dumpster
A failure who you can’t defend
The Donald is a piece of shit
Forty-five’s fuckin’ gay
Yes he spreads all the big lies
Gold sneaker seller ain’t pro-choice
Oh god damn that queer annoys
Fat slob of the far right
Fake news broadcaster
Donald Trump is very old
His Orange Prolapse smells fuckin’ bold
A dope anal attack
Filthy from what I’m fuckin’ told
Insurrection by the whitey
Stormy’s thong was black in color
But Trump is the cunt hair
Piece of shit and total ass
The enemy and Orange Prolapse
Demented fuck has gas to pass
Big lies, big wall, big time
Trump’s an American
Stupid ‘tard who wants to fight
All the jism and Bud Light
His mushroom tiny penis
Stormy has the finest chest
(Oh)
Scum and a suborner
Jared Kushner is a Jew
Golden toilets and the bling
Imbecile and fuckin' loon
‘Merican Nation
And Lee Greenwood’s a buffoon
‘Merican Nation
And Donald Trump’s a fucking goon
‘Merican - There’s no fuckin’ doubt
‘Merican - The Donald’s ear chunk is missing
‘Mercian - The Trump Train is a fake con
Stormy Daniels wet dreaming: ‘Merican
Terrapin Station
Grateful Dead
Let my inspiration flow
In token rhyme suggesting rhythm
That will not forsake me
'Til my tale is told and done
While the firelight's aglow
Strange shadows from the flames will grow
'Til things we've never seen
Will seem familiar
Shadows of a sailor forming
Winds both foul and fair all swarm
Down in Carlisle, he loved a lady
Many years ago
Here beside him stands a man
A soldier from the looks of him
Who came through many fights
But lost at love
While the storyteller speaks
A door within the fire creaks
Suddenly flies open
And a girl is standing there
Eyes alight with glowing hair
All that fancy paints as fair
She takes her fan and throws it
In the lion's den
"Which of you to gain me, tell
Will risk uncertain pains of hell?
I will not forgive you
If you will not take the chance"
The sailor gave at least a try
The soldier being much too wise
Strategy was his strength
And not disaster
The sailor coming out again
The lady fairly leapt at him
That's how it stands today
You decide if he was wise
The storyteller makes no choice
Soon you will not hear his voice
His job is to shed light
And not to master
Since the end is never told
We pay the teller off in gold
In hopes he will come back
But he cannot be bought or sold
Inspiration move me brightly
Light the song with sense and color
Hold away despair
More than this I will not ask
Faced with mysteries dark and vast
Statements just seem vain at last
Some rise, some fall, some climb
To get to Terrapin
Counting stars by candlelight
All are dim but one is bright:
The spiral light of Venus
Rising first and shining best
(Oh)
From the northwest corner
Of a brand-new crescent moon
Crickets and cicadas sing
A rare and different tune
Terrapin Station
In the shadow of the moon
Terrapin Station
And I know we'll be there soon
Terrapin – I can't figure out
Terrapin – if it's the end or beginning
Terrapin – but the train's put its brakes on
And the whistle is screaming: Terrapin
