Mother



Musician Amanda Palmer has released a cover of the 1979 song Mother from Pink Floyd's The Wall, which includes seemingly prophetic lines like “Mother, should I build the wall? Mother, should I run for president?” 

The accompanying video depicts children building a wall and government officials (including one presumably modeled after Trump) watching over them. Eventually, Amanda and a group of musicians rescue the children, and hypnotize the adult government officials and putting them to sleep as if they too were children. 

In case you somehow miss the point, Palmer said, “This song and music video are dedicated to the current administration. You will not build walls in our children’s hearts.”
