"Nobody on the road, Nobody on the beach"

Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
It's floating in the air
A virus out of reach

Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
A White House failing
And it's clear we're all hurting

I can see you
Your orange skin shining in the sun
You got your hair slicked back
Mocking life with blinders on

I can tell you
This nation's pain will still live on
Long after the stain of Trump's power is gone
