LYRICS for CAN’T WORRY TRUMP
Freedom Toast
I want Trump, Trump, to be off my mind
I need to find a judge to sentence him
The jury said, “We can’t acquit Trump
“No, for that it’s too late”
The verdict was easy,
Evidence was clear and straight
It don’t worry Trump
For that we must wait
You gotta trust, give it time
Corruption has a path to take
How many headlines can we stand
Without a candidate (who) makes us proud again
Right now the only thing that keeps us hanging on
When our base support ,yeah, it’s almost gone
We recall Obama said
Don’t worry ‘bout Trump
No, for that, it’s too lateHe said MAGA comes easy
But that won’t run no Ship of State
How long must we wait? How much more can we take?
Before all his non-SENSE causes my TV to break
Go get this man-child an ice cream cone
I grow impatient for men who think on their own
So when I feel that we just can’t go on
These precious words keep me hanging on
I recall Obama said
You can’t believe Trump
Not a word that he’ll say
The man is so sleazy
Says it’s night when it is day
Don’t worry ‘bout Trump
No, just hope he will fade
It never is easy
Hearing nonsense and his hate
Now Trump, Trump, is not easy
Don’t be waiting, anticipating for that
Loud voice on that TV tonight
A shipment of arms, lets him sleep so tight
I’m through waiting, I’m through waiting
But it ain’t easy, it ain’t easy, Obama said
Can’t hurry Trump
No, the man is a fake.
Lost our trust, out of time
He don’t give, he’ll only take
Don’t worry about Trump
No, the man is a fake
He makes my gut go queasy
Does massages with a rake
They convicted Trump
Yes, they sure cleaned his plate
Makes my gut go queasy
Does massages with a rake
ABOUT THE ORIGINAL SONG
“You Can’t Hurry Love” is a 1966 song originally recorded by the Supremes on the Motown label. It was released on July 25, as the second single from their studio album The Supremes A’ Go-Go (1966).
Written and produced by Motown production team Holland–Dozier–Holland, the song topped the US Billboard Hot 100, made the top five in the UK, and top 10 in Australia. It was released and peaked in late summer and early autumn in 1966. Sixteen years later, it became a number-one hit in the UK when Phil Collins re-recorded the song. It reached number one on the UK Singles Chart for two weeks beginning in January 1983 and reached number 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100 a month later.
Billboard named the song number 19 on their list of 100 Greatest Girl Group Songs of All Time. The BBC ranked “You Can’t Hurry Love” at number 16 on The Top 100 Digital Motown Chart, which is based solely on all-time UK downloads and streams of Motown releases.
The song depicts a memory of a mother’s words of encouragement (“My mama said ‘you can’t hurry love/No you just have to wait’ “) telling her daughter that with patience she will find that special someone one day. It’s an example of the strong influence of gospel music present in much of R&B and soul music. “You Can’t Hurry Love” was inspired by and partially based upon “(You Can’t Hurry God) He’s Right on Time” (“You can’t hurry God/you just have to wait/Trust and give him time/no matter how long it takes”), a 1950s gospel song written by Dorothy Love Coates of the Original Gospel Harmonettes.
The recorded version of “You Can’t Hurry Love” showcases the developing sound of the Supremes, who were progressing from their earlier teen-pop into more mature themes and musical arrangements. This song and “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” were finished together; when it came time to choose which single would be issued first, Motown’s Quality Control department chose “You Can’t Hurry Love.”
Written by Motown’s main production team, Holland–Dozier–Holland, “You Can’t Hurry Love” is one of the signature Supremes songs, and also one of Motown’s signature releases. Billboard described the single as “the group’s most exciting side to date” with “top vocal” and “exceptional instrumental backing.” Cash Box said that it is a “pulsating pop-r&b rhythmic ode which contends that romance is a slow-developing game of give-and-take.” Record World called it “a wonderful and happy-sounding tune, chirped by the Supremes, with bells and banjos.”
The Supremes also released a version sung in Italian: “L’amore verrà” (“Love Will Come”).
