Todd Rundgren - Tin Foil Hat Lyrics






He's coming down the escalator
With a girl from east of here
He wants to make the country greater
We've got nothing left to fear

Because the man in the tin foil hat
Is sitting on the throne tonight
It kinda feels like a coup d'etat
But it's gonna be great, tremendous, amazing and all that

'Cause the man in the tin foil hat
Is tweeting like a teenage girl
He puts the Pluto in plutocrat
But it's gonna be a huge huge huge new world

He hasn't got the time for losers
Unless they do as he commands
He's writing checks to his accusers
With those tiny little hands

Because the man in the tin foil hat
Is sitting on the throne tonight
It kinda feels like a coup d'etat
But it's gonna be a huge huge huge new world

'Cause the man in the tin foil hat
Is gonna drain the swamp tonight
And fill it up with alternative facts
And it's gonna be great, tremendous, amazing and all that

'Cause the man in the tin foil hat
(He's coming down the escalator)
Is tweeting like a teenage girl
(With a girl from east of here)
He puts the Pluto in plutocrat
(He wants to make the country greater)
Huge huge huge new world
(We've got nothing left to fear)

Because the man in the tin foil hat
(He hasn't got the time for losers)
Is sitting on the throne tonight
(Unless they do as he commands)
It kinda feels like a coup d'etat
(He's writing checks to his accusers)
And it's gonna be great, tremendous, amazing and all that

  1. G.... J....

    ... enthralled by this diarrhea much  ???

  2. m.... ....

    I like the song but could have done without that all to literal video that takes away the last bit of subtlety.

  3. m.... ....

  4. w.... ....

    Great style! Love it!

  5. C.... &....

    Good groove, but the lyrics are a little too on the nose for Donald Fagen. He’s typically a man of cryptic messages.

  6. C.... L....

    I respected TR till this pinko DF chord progression standard.Now I don't care if he fades into forgetland.

  7. p.... ....

    more ignorance from another butt hurt libtard crying boo hoo

  8. B.... W....

    Oh no Donald Fagen is a liberal!

  9. t.... n....

    Same boring 2 chord song as others.... todd, you lost me. I gave you a chance since the sixties, and found myself admiring your talent
    All these yrs till you went full circle , singing about a narcissistic potus, and became a full blown has been narcissist your self. You should stick to song that inspire, like light of the world, and freedom fighters, but you have forsaken God and shamed our constitution , quit while your ahead.
    Time to retire mr odd Todd

  10. S.... ....

    An excellent summation of the Donald J Trump presidency... music to my ears!

  11. G.... R....

    Magic comes in 9's

  12. R.... G....

    This is just as great as Neil Young's song - Let's Impeach The President

  13. L.... ....

    The beachboy sound is played out. Puts on tin foil hat to listen again. Nah still sucks. Cant believe you wasted time and money on this. You're entire life is questionable

  14. B.... S....

    I never knew Rundgren and Fagen were Industrial War Complex.

    B.... S....

    you should have...Dave McGowan book

  15. R.... B....

    What a waste Always liked Steely Dan Todd had one song he is a loser . We rejected the Witch deal with it boys stick to Music .

    R.... B....

    too much to lose I'm afraid

  16. E.... M....

    humor amidst all the hate is very cool

  17. p.... ....

    the ending started to suck tbh. too many moving parts. whoever wrote this needs to fix it

    p.... ....

    also the orangoutang is kinda overdone

  18. D.... G....

    Much love guys!!! Please do a show on the Nor Cal fires!!!!
    Agenda 2030
    The military is setting fires and stealing people’s land to put in Smart Trains and Concentration Camps!
    Mexican Black Chicks are Hot!!

  19. L.... O....

    I have to preface for the morons. I'm further left than 99% of the US (there is no left-wing anymore, not since 'The Blacklist')... If you're going to attack Trump, why not Obama? He did a ton of right-winged shit.. Added 5 wars, more income inequality, Wall Street bailouts, so something is wrong.

  20. J.... M....

    "Trump bad". What a brave statement. Way to lose half your audience Todd. You were my favorite artist because your music was so unique but now you're just another Liberal talking head.

  21. G.... C....

    “What kind of name is Reince Preibus?” I love it.
    When you take all the vowels out of his name, you get: R N C P R B S

  22. E.... B....

    Bill O'rangatan.....LMAO! 1st heard today, had to look it up I almost fell over laughing. Great job,, video even BETTER! WELL DONE....great to hear both guys again and in such a poignant message. THANK YOU....I needed that.

  23. M.... C....

    It’s disgusting to me how this President has been treated.
    When Obama was voted in I was not happy..at all. However, I never said, thought or wished evil upon him. I prayed he would do a good job and love this country. But he did not.
    Trump is the same man he was 30 years ago..when everyone liked him. He loves America and the American people. He holds the values and our Constitution of this Great Nation to heart.
    I think it’s pathetic and quite disturbing that a Jewish man, Don Fagen would behave this way. I expect more from someone, especially a Jewish person.

  24. M.... O....

    I dig it and I’m no fan of Donald Trump but let’s not forget that the democrats are really just as bad. The main point of contention between Trump and the Democrats is their approach to how they will continue to leech off the American people (being part of the political parasite class). Trump wants to go full speed ahead and just have a free for all feeding frenzy for him and his buddies and the democrats would prefer that it was drawn out a little longer because they figure they can get more in the long run that way. That’s the major disagreement they have. I can’t say the tin foil hat reference doesn’t piss me off a touch either, being someone who has been called a tin foil hatter for saying things like “fluoride is bad for you” (now it’s on CNN) or “false flags are real” (just look at the gulf of Tonkin or read up on operation north woods). Also Russiagate is a huge distraction folks. It’s all a big excuse for the democrats to excuse losing to the Orange bafoon. It couldn’t possibly have anything to do with their corrupt ways that were exposed for the world to see thanks to Wikileaks releasing the podesta e-mails. there’s some weird stuff in there like “I’m going to sacrifice a chicken to Moloch” (ancient Canaan God of child sacrifice) as well that I think is worth looking into further. Creepy.

  25. 2.... ....

    As a Trump supporter, I dig this song!

  26. D.... K....

    So Stunning and brave.

  27. J.... c....

    WE ARENT GOING ANYWHERE. GOING TO LOSE AGAIN!!!! THE TRUMP TRAIN RUNS ON LIBERAL TEARS. !!! Hey thought the world was going to end if Trump won????? BAHAHAHAHA. MAGA B*TCHES. GET READY TO LOSE AGAIN

    J.... c....

    @milton clubsworthy keep telling yourself that. Fat beta. Your weak and inferior in everyway.WE ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE. Please continue the meltdowns. Very entertaining. President TRUMP rules the free wourld. You live in the past.

  28. N.... B....

    Amazingly, the orange buffoon is still in residence.. mind you, we have a few problems of our own to deal with at the moment.

  29. y.... ....

    Nailed it.

  30. F.... B....

    ch mon Todd you can do better than this... No one cares about CHUMP.. and the song is terrible. Do better next time

  31. N.... W....

    Right On!!

  32. F.... ....

    HEY TODD -- when are you going to write a song about Bill Clinton's 26 trips on LOLITA EXPRESS to EPSTEIN'S PEDO ISLAND?

  33. L.... D....

    OMG!!!! LOL!!!!!! I LOVE IT!

  34. R.... P....

    With those tiny little hands

  35. m.... a....

    Todd i am sitting here loving all the great tunes and then i hear this. war is down the economy is up for all
    Shut up and sing all the loving and open minded people are now so offended if you have not noticed he is not one of the same morons that have been ruining this country for the last 60 years give him a chance which no one has yet! what do you have to loose he is doing s great job even with every one fighting him including the former head of the CIA FBI and the media
    Isn't that what we were all against in the 70's

  36. B.... S....

    I love Trump and Todd, so what does that make me? It's the pot calling the kettle black really...

  37. t.... ....

    Odd that someone so smart could think so little of someone they don't know.

  38. R.... F....

    ANTICHRIST TRUMP???

  39. R.... S....

    Todd used to be cool, until he started disparaging President Trump and his supporters. He showed he is nothing but just another liberal snowflake. BoycotTODD, SUPPORTRUMPENCE!

  40. P.... T....

    266 dislikes = deaf GOP folk

  41. D.... ....

    Song itself is pretty decent. Love Todd and Don. I'm not gonna fault them for the subject matter, It's not really surprising coming from their sort.


    The tiny hands bit is some Jon Oliver level stuff. I'm surprised they didn't outright call him Drumpf.

    D.... ....

    They are going to lose big AGAIN

    D.... ....

    @Justine carrington women for trump are like chickens for KFC. Zero self-esteem.

    D.... ....

    @George Maloney not clever George. Never facts just feelings. You have no way of knowing the level of my self esteem George. Now come at me. It's what libtard men do. Your a pussy george

  42. R.... N....

    He's coming down the escalator
    With a girl from east of here
    He wants to make the country greater
    We've got nothing left to fear
    Because the man in the tin foil hat

    It kinda feels like a coup d'etat
    But it's gonna be great, tremendous, amazing and all that
    'Cause the man in the tin foil hat
    Is tweeting like a teenage girl
    He puts the Pluto in plutocrat
    It's gonna be a yuge yuge yuge new world
    He hasn't got the time for losers
    Unless they do as he commands
    He's writing checks to his accusers
    With those tiny little hands
    Because the man in the tin foil hat
    Is sitting on the throne tonight
    It kinda feels like a coup d'etat
    But it's gonna be a yuge yuge yuge new world
    'Cause the man in the tin foil hat
    Is gonna…

  43. R.... V....

    TIN FOIL HAT IS GENIUS! Genius

    R.... V....

    No, it's not at all, it's beyond stupid and narcissistic

  44. S.... M....

    Cry all you want. Trump is still your president. For another 6 years. lol Now bring on the hate children. Making you pussies cry is oh so much fun.

  45. B.... G....

    one look at the feminist marches with the little pussy hats sums it all up what a freak show, very concerning to the sane , now this what a shame that they put politics before people and music lovers, now we really know how the they think about those who made them millionaires sad very very sad !!

  46. B.... G....

    pretty sad that great musos you love all your life can degenerate into this, keep politics out of music, and now we have comments from the flaky left berating their own sad

  47. R.... B....

    Todd & Don...what a great combination!

  48. s.... Z....

    thaz the best!

  49. T.... M....

    Douchebag musicians.

  50. R.... 8....

    Todd needs to give Christ’s message he used in a song once, “cast the first stone’ a bit more thought. He’s thinking like a teenage boy.

  51. B.... C....

    I didn't see it as either talented or funny. I'm not saying that out of anger. I watched it and never quite figured out if Rundgren was mocking the president or the media. Because the media monkey was wearing a tin-foil hat...while depicting the president of wearing one, I got the idea that the media was the object being mocked. I'm not really aware of any particular conspiracy theories the president is pushing; in fact the left is pushing them all while the president just keeps saying they're making stuff up-and that makes the supposed point backfire even more. The music wasn't catchy at all, it seemed depressing and flat.

  52. J.... c....

    TRUMP PENCE 2020.

    J.... c....

    @LabJaz it's not that great of a song ok?

    J.... c....

    @LabJaz typical LIBTARD. Not clever. 10 to 1 you are a chubb

    J.... c....

    Musically, I agree. However, such topical content, right on the mark.

    J.... c....

    Sure солнечный свет ;)

    J.... c....

    Speaking in CAPS are we? So maybe the meltdown thing is a little bit of projecting? Well, what should one expect of someone supporting someone that can't keep his promises. ( can't bring down prescription prices, can't redo health insurance, can't build a wall, etc., etc.) All mouth from eating all that fast food? ;)

  53. P.... J....

    Pro Trump here. Nothing wrong with this song. Funny! And he will win again in 2020!!!!!!! Because the other side has NOTHING viable to run against him.

  54. N.... Z....

    What kind of name is reince prebus....sounds so nasty

  55. I.... S....

    Hey, Don, Todd—I'm hip to you two on that.

  56. J.... L....

    Too bad I can't go to anymore of his concerts

    J.... L....

    Well, only because you don't want to. Your loss.

  57. J.... c....

    LET'S SEE YOU FILL A STADIUM. TOD

    J.... c....

    People in Nebraska fill the cornhusker stadium all football season. They were 4 and 8 this year. Do I need to spell it out for you..... Okay, yes Nebraska voted for trump too. ;)

    J.... c....

    @LabJaz libtard.betas can't stand sports

    J.... c....

    Once again you miss the point. Losers gather to pretend greatness. The mango Mussolini and his minion, or a 4 and 8 team..... I will try and spell things out for you, as trump says... he loves the under educated, and they sure seem to love him. ;)

  58. J.... c....

    This sucks

    J.... c....

    Now who said this sucks, trump, melania, or stormy?

    Your too easy...... and trump probably said that too.

    Todd and Donald... Awesome! (Said 1 year ago)

  61. L.... M....

    Karma, like justice, grinds slow but exceeding fine. Todd & Donnie be kicking 'whose its' fat butt. Yassuh!

    L.... M....

    Then Karma should be visiting Todd and Fagen like yesterday, in the least for defamation.

  62. R.... ....

    I've got a headache from all of the stupid remarks on here, still like Mr. Rundgren even though I don't agree with most of his political views.......he is a incredible musician/producer. Most people have no idea just how many awesome records Todd produced.

    R.... ....

    I do, and appreciate his musicality greatly-- just don't like that in the middle of his concert, he decides to do a "I hate Trump" routine, ruining the concert, and then if that's not enough-- he tries to shame Trump voters. I'm only there for his music, don't care about his politics. He FKED up. Not to mention that he's completely wrong. Maybe Todd should write a song for Mueller -- "Can you ah ah um er er repeat that?" or "I ah ah won't get into that" could be good titles.

  63. I.... J....

  64. e.... ....

    After the last week culminating in today's attack in Pittsburgh maybe Trump and his apologists should just the fuck up. Please! I'm a British Jew and I'm hurting.

  65. T.... F....

    Todd is the best! He is nominated for the 2019 R&R Hall Of Fame and he deserves to be in there! You can vote for him here: https://www.rockhall.com/fanvote

  66. J.... R....

    Donald Fagen's income is dwindling (as is Todd's). This is just a desperate attempt to capitalize on its obvious target of President Trump. I won't buy it, and hopefully Donald and Todd will both be on the streets homeless when their money well runs dry. No, they don't care about their fans. They only care about themselves and bashing President Trump and bashing the majority of America-loving citizens who voted him into office. You insult President Trump, you insult the majority of Americans. Very totally stupid from a business perspective IMO. I suppose they've got enough income that they can hate whomever they like without suffering the consequences. As a previous HUGE Steely Dan/Donald Fagen fan, I can say I will not be purchasing anything in the future, including concert tickets. I've "unfanned" them!

  67. J.... R....

    Lol! Donald and Todd are thick as thieves! Rumor has it they both have very small penises, too small to satisfy anything (except maybe the palm of their right hand)! Donald needs a new sound. His songs are starting to sound alike. This song, however, does milk the name "Trump" for all it's worth, that's all. Otherwise, just a run-of-the-mill FAGen tune!

  68. J.... R....

    Why do Donald Fagen songs all sound the same???

  69. J.... R....

    Very conservative here. Can't lie, ANYTHING to do with President Trump brings in $$$! Fagen and Rundgren should be GRATEFUL for President Trump! They'd ALL be out of business if there were no President Trump, especially CNN and all the other fake news networks! TRUMP 2020!!!

  70. S.... P....

  78. B.... P....

    Todd likes to present himself as highly intelligent, yet he's against restoring the Republic and in favor of foreign criminal traitors like Barry Soetero?

  79. L.... R....

    tRump needs to be impeached . He`s Putin`s Puppet. Please Read Malcom Nance Book The Plot to Destroy Democracy .

  80. B.... T....

    Donald Fagan only has one style and it dominates every collaboration. I look back at every President we have had in my lifetime and there has never been such push back in unison from liberals. Ronald Reagan was never hated by every liberal fringe group as President Trump. Everybody can mock my words here but all of this is spiritual warfare. Everyone is in the mix and has chosen a side but the question is which side are you on. If your slamming Trump in lock step with others take a good look at yourself. Is Jesus Lord of your life? Yes I know this is were most of you stop reading and jump to throw me like chum to the sharks. The truth is we all get less than 100 years on this earth and then your dead. Todd Rundgren, Donald Fagan, you and me all have our day coming. Each and every one of us has a one on one meeting with Jesus with no way to avoid it. What are you going to do between now and then? Ask yourself why do so many liberals hate President Trump? Why does that that same group also have a problem with the whole concept of Jesus and the Bible? Do you not see what is really going on here? Republicans and Christianity are being mocked and ridiculed as wearing Tin Foil Hats and following Donald Trump as if we are mind controlled simpletons. I am telling you it is quite the opposite. Satan has the liberals and the left under his subtle control and the evidence is the Word of God. Remove the labels and the names and sort the people by voting records and actions not by emotions and attitudes. What you will find is the Godless shake their fists but they are not even aware that it's not Trump at the center of their wrath. They are shaking their fists at the God who made them. Why would anyone hate Jesus the creator of everything who gave His life for us all? Because Satan, the most beautiful and revered Angel, turned away from God and sealed his doom. His ultimate goal is to take us which are God's most precious creation and turn us against Him for the ultimate revenge. Check your heart and get your head in the Word of God. Buy an NLT version of the Bible which will really speak to your soul and yes we all have one. Don't let another day pass hating the one who loves us all more than anything. God became a man and died on a cross so we could live.

  81. D.... C....

    shitty ass song

  82. T.... ....

    OMG!!! This is soooooo brilliant.

  83. M.... P....

    How did they get Maxine Waters to wear that tin foil hat?

  84. Z.... ....

    Caught this partway through on SiriusXM's Deep Tracks, and found myself realizing, "Wait, this isn't one of those 60s/70s political songs!"

  85. R.... ....

    Out-effing-standing.

  86. T.... D....

    Fantastic!!

  87. K.... M....

    Trump supporter here. Not gonna lie, the Bill O'Rangutan makes me laugh.

  88. B.... K....

    I love this so much
    Tremendous
    Bigly!

  89. B.... ....

    I'm no Trump supporter but holy shit this song is just bad. Lyrically it's very weak and doesn't do a great job of condemning the guy you're going after. The production quality of the music video is horrendous, too. Todd in a suit with a monkey face that's on the same level of quality as a Snapchat filter with crappy jpgs, Trump footage, and flaccid jabs at the administration does not make a powerful music video. I find it surprising that Rundgren and Fagen would write a song attacking Trump considering that a large percentage of their remaining fan base are most likely Trump supporters. They aren't attracting a new wave of millennial listeners any time soon so I guess this song is just running with the "If I say Trump is bad then I'll look good" mindset. Again, not a Trump supporter, I just couldn't leave this video without leaving my take on it.

  90. C.... S....

    classic ....

  91. D.... E....

    Hahaha! Bearsville.

  92. V.... B....

    Happy 70th Todd!!!!! I love the music you are putting out! I've loved your music since I was a kid. :)

  93. M.... W....

    is that todd or don?

    M.... W....

    It's Todd.You can tell by his front teeth.

  94. T.... C....

    Great, tremendous, and amazing!!

  95. Y.... ....

    Donald Trump reminds me of one of the characters that would appear in a Steely Dan song, so hearing Don Fagen on this is funny.

  96. L.... K....

    Loved this. Thank you Todd Rundgren.

  97. l.... b....

    Only hate could drive someone to go to this much trouble to put another person down. Hate and cynicism are twin travelers. You have to be cynical to put these claims in DT's mouth, and you have to believe in Marx's famous adage for leftists: "The end justifies the means."

    See where this gets ya!

    l.... b....

    Read the latest indictments...dare you.

  98. D.... M....

    Todd & Donald, you really don't get it, it's a shame.... keep on listening to CNN & MSNBC &...

    D.... M....

    You know it. It's pure envy. All these so called celebrities suck. Especially the C list
