He was saving his best lines for last
Just like money in the bank
He stood before us in his Sunday best
And said, I have you to thank
We took pictures of the people taking pictures
And posted them on the internet
And we believed like we always believed
But mostly we were all wet
Fractured, fractured
Well we trotted out of our slogans
We scribbled them all over the sky
And you, you embodied the best of us
So bold, so brash, so sly
You would make us great once more
That's what told us time and again
We haven't be great in a long, long time
Not great since way back when
You had all the money in the whole wide world
And you liked to spend it wildly
You talked about all your accomplishments
You loved yourself to put it mildly
Yeah, you had power and you had wealth
You owned half of New York City
You showered yourself in sycophants
And your girlfriend sure was pretty
