Trump-Silent Running

In 1985 Mike Rutherford (from my favorite band Genesis​) released "Silent Running" ❗️
He revealed the meaning behind the lyrics in a 2017 interview💥:
"It was really about TIME TRAVEL. The story is about the idea that this father of the family is ahead in time, so he can look back and see what’s going to happen in England, and it’s not good. He’s trying to get a message back to his family to warn them that the impending disaster is coming. Hence the line, “Can you hear me, can you hear me calling you?”
👇
Take the children and yourself
And hide out in the cellar
By now the fighting will be close at hand
Don't believe the church and state
And everything they tell you
Believe in me, I'm with the high command

Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?

There's a gun and ammunition
Just inside the doorway
Use it only in emergency
Better you should pray to God
The Father and the Spirit
Will guide you and protect from up here

Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?

Swear allegiance to the flag
Whatever flag they offer
Never hint at what you really feel
Teach the children quietly
For some day sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stood still

Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
