lyrics

[Preamble]

This may sound crazy but in just about a decade

You’ll invent time travel, and the best way it’s displayed

Is to tell yourself back in the 11th grade

That you should write your school report about our 40th president.

[Verse 1]

Back in the 80s, a new administration

Rose from the ground in the heart of our nation

He wasn’t a saint, he wasn’t a pagan

Just a white actor with the last name of

Had a crazy idea about the way money works

If you’re off for the better, it’s better for the worse

It don’t flow up, it don’t flow down.

It don’t flow at all, it

[Chorus]

Trickles doooooown!

Son wipe that frown

Doooooooooooown!

All the clowns in the crowns say it

Trickles down

[Verse 2]

Well it didn’t work, needless to say

The rich got richer, the poor just paid

But our man don’t care, because he’s dead

Into the ground his body is laid

It trickles down.

(Chorus)
