Verse 1
Collusion1
Stay on message, be part of the team2
Not to worry3
They use non-existent sources
And a drunk / drugged up loser
Who hates4 you5 Michael6
You are7 a fine person
With a wonderful family
Who I have always liked8
Most people will flip
If the Gov’t lets them out of trouble9
I don’t see you doing that10

Chorus 1
Sleep well tonight, you have friends
In high places11
Like12 Moscow Skyscraper13
Hang in there14

Collusion32

Bridge
So here’s the story:33
It doesn’t matter
Because I was allowed to
Do whatever I wanted
During the campaign34

It’s far too early to be thinking about that35
He hasn’t36 been convicted of anything
There’s nothing to pardon37
I don’t want to talk about pardons
Don’t want to talk about pardons
Don’t want to38 talk about Russ…39
In a bed some place40
