[High Praise! to walruskkkch]
Honduras Bound (to the tune of “Homeward Bound” by Simon and Garfunkel)
Still sitting in the detention center.
Got no papers to let them enter.
On a trek from distance lands
a suitcase, but no papers in hand.
to get stopped had not been planned
to skip their hearing would be grand.
(Chorus)
Honduras bound
I wish they were
Honduras bound.
Honduras where from they tried escaping,
Honduras where they should be staying,
Honduras where I love for them to stay away from me.
Every day’s an endless stream
Of stupid covers of magazines.
And each tweet looks the same to me,
like they’re produced in some factories
And every crying child I see
reminds me I know where they should be,
(Chorus)
Tonight they repeat themselves again,
They’ll play a game and pretend.
But all their words sound to me
like a shady mendacity
filled with empty sophistry
All they can do is insult me.
(Chorus)
Post it on the Moon!

Similarly, the Beatles had a song that starts with “W.” I think it was the last song on the Let It Be album. But it’s too politically charged to have fun with, so I won’t deal with that hot potato.
(“Thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves, and I hope we passed the rendition.”)
Sadly, I can’t think of the song you’re alluding to
Get Back.
As wikipedia explains.
When McCartney introduced the song to the group during the Twickenham rehearsals, the lyrics were mostly incomplete except for the “Get Back” chorus. McCartney improvised various temporary lyrics leading to what has become known in Beatles’ folklore as the “No Pakistanis” version. This version parodied the anti-immigrant views of Enoch Powell, a member of parliament whose racially charged speeches had recently gained much media attention. The lyrics addressed attitudes toward immigrants in the United States and the United Kingdom: “… don’t need no Puerto Ricans living in the USA”; and “don’t dig no Pakistanis taking all the people’s jobs,” though these lyrics were meant to be a parody and a criticism of those prejudiced against immigrants.[8] Later during the same session, the subject of immigration came up again in an improvised jam that has become known as “Commonwealth”. The lyrics included a line “You’d better get back to your Commonwealth homes”.[9]
On 23 January, the group (now in Apple Studios)[10] tried to record the song properly; bootleg recordings preserve a conversation between McCartney and Harrison between takes discussing the song, and McCartney explaining the original “protest song” concept. The recording captures the group deciding to drop the third verse largely because McCartney does not feel the verse is of high enough quality, although he likes the scanning of the word “Pakistani”.[clarification needed] Here the song solidifies in its two-verse, three-solo format.
The Carpenters:
Why do rights
Suddenly appear
Every time
You come near?
Just like me
We ought to be
Closed To you.
Aliens keep flowing in
Like endless rain into a paper cup
They enter without a pass
and blithely our border they transverse
Pools of voters, the Dems great joy
Are drifting through our porous lines
Dispossessing and annoying me
CHORUS:
Chai gurus at Starbuck’s . . .
. . . Dems . . .
Nothing’s gonna change their world!
Nothing’s gonna change their world!
Nothing’s gonna change their world!
Nothing’s gonna change their world!
.
Images of broken lives
Which dunces fall for
Like a million lies, the commies moan and moan
Across the Twitterverse
Bots meander like a restless cat
Inside a litterbox
They mumble blindly “Watergate”
Across the Twitterverse
[Chorus]
Shades of Kafka, sounds of oaths
Are ringing through their dope and spew
Inciting and inviting hate.
Limitless undying rage
Designed around them
Like Obama’s Sons, it calls them on and on
Across the Twitterverse
[Chorus]
