  • [Verse 1]
    He’s a demagogue
    Check out his rise
    He’s a demagogue
    He’s fatally famous
    He’s a demagogue
    He plays with my fears
    A demagogue
    My shadow side dreaming
    The demagogue
    It feels so good to be dumb

    From the Wall straight to La Quenta
    Those pussy grabbing fingers won’t let go of me now

    A demagogue
    A demagogue

    [Verse 2]
    He’s a demagogue
    He’d like to punch in your face
    He's a demagogue
    Throwing terminal shade
    The demagogue
    He knows all of the words
    He’s a demagogue
    He sees a nation of marks

    From the mob to chapter eleven
    Those tiny vulgar fingers on the nuclear bomb

    A demagogue
    A demagogue

    [Outro]
    What’s a mother and father got to do with making me?
    What’s a mother and father got to do with making me?
    What’s a mother and father got to do with making me?
    What’s a mother and father meant to do with making me?
    What’s a mother and father meant to do with making me?
    What’s a mother and father meant to do with making me?
    What’s a mother and father meant to do with making me? Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
