THE PROJECT 2025 SONG - Full lyrics ©2024 by Jason Kravits

KID: Hey there! Who are you?
P25: Oh, just the most important document in our country’s history.
KID: You mean the Constitution?P25: Nope!
KID: The Declaration of Independence?
P25: Guess again!
KID: The Federalist Papers?
P25: The Federalist… what? No! Even more important than… whatever you just said. Now sit right here and I’ll tell you all about me.

I’m just a little paper for the ages
A way to set the government straight
A short 887 pages
On how to make America great… again

By forcing through the president’s agenda
Removing all of those who disagree
Replace ‘em with our loyal party members and
Reclaim our great country

(In sum)
Give power to the president
To authorize the government
To legislate morality
And wrestle back normality
From Marxist ideologies
That infiltrate our policies
Like gender, race or anything woke

(We’re gonna)
Abolish the Department of Education
Turn the swearing in into a coronation
America’s great salvation will arrive
With Project 2025.

KID: Coronation? You mean, like a king?
P25: No, it’s called the “Unitary Executive Theory.” Gives the next president unchecked power to do whatever they want.
KID: So… a king.
P25: Oh, let’s not get hung up on semantics. Here’s how it’s gonna work!

Once that we have started the transition
And no one’s left to tell us to wait
We’ll go through every policy position
Get rid of all the language that we hate
Like civil rights diversity and unions
And pronounce, to mention but a few
Defunding any liberal institutions
That dare question what we do

KID: I’m pretty sure the Supreme Court-
P25: The Supreme Court. That’s a good one! Now where was I?

Abortion will be pretty much illegal
And reproductive rights will be gone
We’ll get back to the biblical ideal
That a family means a daddy and a mom (with kids)

Repeal the crazy climate regulations
That get in the economy’s way
With everyone reporting to their stations
On inauguration day
(When we)

Give power to the president
To authorize the government
To legislate morality
Expelling abnormality
Like godless ideologies
Protecting inequalities
Like gender, race and anything woke
(We’re gonna)
Abolish the Department of Education
Convert the Melting Pot into a Christian nation
The stage is set and we’ll be going live
In 2025

KID: It can’t seriously say all that.
P25: Wanna bet? Come on, let’s crack me open!

(Page 124)Make more nuclear weapons
(Page 257)
End the war on fossil fuels
(Page 214)
No more gun violence protections
(Page 298)
Or feeding hungry kids at our schools
(Turn to page 5)
Ban offensive books from the classroom
(563)
Make it hard to register to vote
(Page 449)
Dismantle medicare
(534)
Kill off the grizzly bear
(Page 4)
Delete the terms sexual orientation, gender equality, awareness
and sensitivity, diversity, equity, inclusion, abortion, reproductive
health and reproductive rights out of every rule, regulation, contract,
grant and piece of federal regulation that exists… and that’s an actual quote

And that, my friend, is only the beginning
Of how this makes America great
You’ll be so overwhelmed with all the winning
That you won’t know what you’ve lost til it’s too-

KID: WAIT! This doesn’t sound great at all!
P25: No?
KID: No, it sounds like a $%^*ing nightmare.
P25: Well, I guess if you wanted to, there are still some things you can do to… stop it.
KID: Like what?

Well… if… you…

Vote to save democracy
And stand against autocracy
And tell your friends and family
Enough with this insanity

We’ve fought too long to part with these
Essential civil liberties
Like privacy, and equity, and bodily autonomy,
And what defines a family, equality and empathy

And we’re not going back! And maybe

We can stop this radical abomination
The future all depends on your participation
That’s the way democracy will thrive

America was made for you and me
So let’s defend our freedom and our dignity
Now raise your voice and let’s keep hope alive
In 2025!

NOW VOTE!
