[Verse 1] November fifth, pen hits paper, Oval Office wears a crown, Trump proclaims it a monument, Antiquities Act, nineteen-oh-six, that's how it's bound, Room one-ten, one-oh-six, one-oh-eight, one-oh-five on the list, Cabinet Room, Outer Oval — National Park Service holds the wrist, Sounds historic, sounds like marble, sounds like it's set in stone, But read the fine print closer — the man still moves the throne. [Chorus] National monument, but the paint job still can change, Oval frozen on the surface, furniture rearranged, Four rooms locked in amber, but the lock's still got a key, Watch the proclamation, not the headline — that's the lesson for free. [Verse 2] Left out the headline: he kept his own two hands, Still swaps the curtains, still decides where the lamp stands, Signed days after his party lost the House and Senate chair, Third time in eighty years a sitting president's crew got stuck with that despair, Washington Post says the legal force is foggy, hard to pin, Next guy in that office could just delete it, start again. [Verse 3] Trump said Congress has to ratify, said it needs their review, But AP checked the actual paper — found no clause, nothing new, No congressional stamp required, that claim don't hold the weight, Remember twenty-seventeen, two Utah monuments shrunk by his own hand, his own fate, So "forever" here's a feeling, not a fact carved deep, A future president could trim this while the nation's half asleep. [Chorus] National monument, but the paint job still can change, Oval frozen on the surface, furniture rearranged, Four rooms locked in amber, but the lock's still got a key, Watch the proclamation, not the headline — that's the lesson for free. [Verse 4] Historians say the irony's thick as the carpet on that floor, A room that shaped a hundred years now sealed behind a door, But seals get broken, precedent's a fence not a wall, Executive orders come and go, proclamations rise and fall, The plaque might say "protected," the brass might say "preserved," Still just an order from one man — not the bedrock some inferred, So cheer the gesture if you want, call it a legacy move, But legacy ain't legal code — that's a different proof to prove. [Bridge] Interior Secretary's drafting a plan, no deadline on the clock, Teaming with Preservation Committee to line up every lock, Scholars say the Antiquities Act could face a courtroom fight, Watch if he mails it to Congress like he claimed — though the page don't say he's right. [Outro] Monument on paper, power still in his coat, November sixth, read close — that's the whole headline note. [Chorus] National monument, but the paint job still can change, Oval frozen on the surface, furniture rearranged, Four rooms locked in amber, but the lock's still got a key, Watch the proclamation, not the headline — that's the lesson for free.
