It's the neck gaiter secret police
They have come to ruin the peace

Come quietly to the car
You'll look nice behind our bars
Don't resist our display of power
This should only take an hour

Bam! Throwing tear gas at the mob
We're just here to do our job
We'll deport you little chumps
When you mess with President Trump
When you mess with President Trump

Mar-a-Lago über alles
Mar-a-Lago über alles
Über alles, Mar-a-Lago
Über alles, Mar-a-Lago
