Most of us never want to hear his name again. Here’s a surprisingly accurate observation in song form that describes how both sides are tuning in for exactly opposite reasons – One side because they believe it and eat it up and the other checking in to see if the nightmare is over yet.

LYRICS for ADDICTED TO TRUMP
by THE FREEDOM TOAST
The TV’s on, you’re at home
Your mind is nearly blown
You see the tweets, your body shakes
More breaking news is all it takes
It never ends, most every night
From the Left, and from the Right
You can’t sleep, you have to watch
There’s no doubt, there’s way too much
Whoa, you like to think that you’re immune to this junk, oh yeah
It’s closer to the truth to say you’re deep in a funk
You know you’re gonna have to face it, you’re addicted to Trump
He quotes the law, but he don’t read
His “facts” make brains bleed
He lashes out most all the time
Another rally and he’ll feel fine
A one-track mind, he can’t be saved
Attention is what he craves
Lawyers at his beck and call
He knows better than them all
Whoa, you like to think that you’re immune to this junk, oh yeah
It’s closer to the truth to say you’re deep in a funk
You know you’re gonna have to face it, you’re addicted to Trump
You might as well face it, you’re addicted to Trump
You might as well face it, you’re afflicted by Trump
You might as well face it, you’re constricted by Trump
You might as well face it, you’re conflicted by Trump
A capella:
You might as well face it, you’re addicted to Trump
(Instrumental break)
The TV’s on, you’re at home
Your mind is Murdoch’s own
You hear the lies, believe them all
And what is true, you can’t recall
Whoa, you like to think that you’re above all this junk, oh yeah
You’re acting kinda dumb, as if you’re Forrest Gump.
You know you’re gonna have to face it, you’re addicted to Trump
You might as well face it, you’re addicted to Trump
You might as well face it, you’re afflicted by Trump
You might as well face it, you’re constricted by Trump
You might as well face it, you’re conflicted by Trump
You might as well face it, you’re addicted to Trump
You might as well face it, you’re addicted to Trump
You might as well face it, you’re addicted to Trump
You might as well face it, you’re addicted to Trump
ABOUT THE SOURCE MUSIC
“Addicted to Love” is a song by English rock singer Robert Palmer released in 1986. It is the third song on Palmer’s 1985 album Riptide and was released as its second single. The single version is a shorter edit of the full-length album version.
The song entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart the week ending 8 February 1986. The song ended up topping the Billboard Hot 100, as well as the Billboard Top Rock Tracks chart. It was one of the last 45 RPM singles to receive a million-selling Gold certification. It also reached number one in Australia and number five on the UK Singles Chart. “Addicted to Love” became Palmer’s signature song, thanks in part to a popular video featuring high fashion models.
Originally intended to be a duet with Chaka Khan, the song was made without her because her record company at the time would not grant her a release to work on Palmer’s label, Island Records. Chaka Khan is still credited for the vocal arrangements in the album liner notes.
Andy Taylor of Duran Duran (and a bandmate of Palmer’s from The Power Station) provides lead guitar. The other guitar part on the song is played by Eddie Martinez, while keyboards were played by Wally Badarou. As well as producing the song, Bernard Edwards also played the bass. The song is also notable for its opening drum solo by Tony Thompson, another Power Station alumnus.
Noddy Holder (the lead vocalist of English rock band Slade) stated in an interview that this song was the main track he wished he had written himself. “The one main song that I wish that I’d written and recorded is ‘Addicted to Love’ by Robert Palmer. To me, that’s a perfect pop song. Everything about it really hits the nail on the head.”
The music video was one of the most noted of the era. The video features Palmer performing the song with an abstract “band”, being a group of female models whose pale skin, heavy makeup, dark hair, and seductive, rather mannequin-like expression follow the style of women in Patrick Nagel paintings.
One of the models in the video, Mak Gilchrist recalled to Q:
“I was 21 and got the part on the strength of my modeling book. We were meant to look and “act” like showroom mannequins. Director Terence Donovan got us tipsy on a bottle of wine but as we were having our make-up retouched, I lost balance on my heels and knocked the top of my guitar into the back of Robert’s head, and his face then hit the microphone.”
As famous as this song is, you’d think it would have a richer history, no?
