Lyrics

Devil In the Tower (America First)
By Carrie Ferguson

I got money but I don’t pay tax
I live in a world of alternative facts
Come on honey now just relax
I’m gonna put America first

Made my fortune on real estate
Claimed my throne with lies and hate
Y’all just jealous ‘cuz I’m so great
I’m gonna put America first

I met the devil, he was living in my tower
Said “Come on boy, I’m gonna give you power
But you better watch out ‘cuz I charge by the hour
If you’re gonna put America first” yeah
I’m gonna put America first

My grandpa came from the old country
My wife emigrated to the ‘Land of the Free’
Gonna build a big wall for my legacy
And I’m gonna put America first

I don’t care about climate change
Fire and floods and hurricanes
Gonna rip out your park for the financial gain
And I’m gonna put America first

I met the devil and he smelled like coal
Said “Come on boy, I’ll give you total control
All I ask is your nation’s soul
If you’re gonna put America first”, yeah
I’m gonna put America First

Don’t blame me for the big pandemic
Don’t accuse me of racist polemic
There’s riots in the cities cuz of liberal academics
And I’m gonna put America first

Now here’s a little trick that I always use
Tell a lie long enough
It might as well be true
Gaslight, that’s right, fake news
I’m gonna put America first

I met the devil, he was standing in my mirror
Come on boy, you know it’s clear
They’re all talkin’ bout you
But I’m the only one here
And I’m gonna put America first, yeah
I’m gonna put America first
I’m gonna put America first, yeah
I’m gonna put America first
