[Verse]
In the dusty streets of a broken town,
The whispers echo, the sun goes down.
A marionette on a nation's stage,
Stumbling words, an empty gaze.
[Verse 2]
They cheer "Let's Go Brandon" in the night,
While shadows dance in the flickering light.
A sleepy puppet on tangled strings,
A leader lost in hollow things.
[Chorus]
Bumbling Joe, a shadowed pawn,
Caught in a game where hope's long gone.
His puppet masters pull and play,
While we the people go astray.
[Verse 3]
The farmer's fields lie fallow bare,
Rust coats dreams in disrepair.
He once held faith in words untrue,
Now clenches to what strength he knew.
[Verse 4]
They say a force, a guiding hand,
Could steer this ship back to the land.
A figure strong, in contrast stark,
To light anew the patriot's spark.
[Chorus]
Bumbling Joe, a shadowed pawn,
Caught in a game where hope's long gone.
His puppet masters pull and play,
While we the people go astray.
