Fanfare for the Orange Man
This song's 'bout the Orange Man
He says things I don't understand
He's not common he only stands
For the Orange Man
Mr. C wrote 'bout you and me
And human decency
But Orange Man is not PC
Hates us all equally
I am but a common man
​Just another grain of sand
Freedom lives in the hand
Of the Common Man
​Last stand for the Common Man
Listen up, do you understand?
Speak out, take a stand
Against the Orange Man

I was reading the news about some new outrage from the Orange Man and said to her, "Someone should write a song called Fanfare for the Orange Man as a way of venting our rage". Here is that song.
In his 1942 masterpiece, Aaron Copland honored all the unsung heroes in America who were working and fighting to end fascism and tyranny. Orange Man is a narcissistic egomaniac who claims to be working for the forgotten people, but he has no idea what life is like for us. He has been a spoiled brat his entire life. All Orange Man cares about is money, power and himself. Orange Man uses not being politically correct (PC) as license to make racist, bigoted and sexist statements. He has shown contempt for social and political norms. We the people have the power to resist Orange Man. Take action, do something. Speak out. Write your representatives. Vote.
​
Dedicated to Amy B, who despises Orange Man more than I do.
