Crazy Made-Up Mixture (A Song Parody)

Crazy Made-Up Mixture
Original words and music “Hazy Shade of Winter” by Paul Simon 1966
Additional lyrics by Wayne A Schneider 2023

Slime crime time
See what’s reality
While I looked around
For impossibilities
They were not hard to see

But look around, sleaze abounds
And their lies are a crazy made-up mixture

Hear the Damnation Army Klan
Down with some genocide
They’re bound to flee and better hide
Just what they’ve got planned
Carry a gun in their hand

And look around, sleaze abounds
And their lies are a crazy made-up mixture

Gang up on these dopes, my friend
That’s an easy game to play
But if these dopes do get away
Simply intend
That you will find them again

Look around, these guys are high
I see the type, they’re the wingnuts of my life

Ah, reasons change with the scenery
Weavin’ slime in a tapestry
Won’t they stop their dissembling, please?
It’s not a convenient time.

Funny how my sympathy slips
While looking at laws ill-equipped
And unpunished crime
Thinking they’re not that sublime

Look around, sleaze abounds
And their lies are a crazy made-up mixture

Look around, sleaze abounds
There’s no fact they know to be sound

Look around, sleaze abounds
There’s no happy zone to be found  

Look around, sleaze abounds
They’re a batch of know-nothing clowns

Fact Cheater

This is not about any one particular person.
Oh, it may seem like it’s obviously about a certain one.
Maybe it is, or maybe it isn’t, about a blonde Fox News commentator.
I can not confirm or deny any of that speculation.

Let’s just say it hypothetically could be
About any one of several Conservative
Home-grown, young, Satanic priestesses who
Regurgitate the lies that make it possible for
Evil Republicans to gain enough power to see to it we
Never have free and fair elections again.

Fact Cheater
Original words and music “Maneater” by Daryl Hall and John Oates, 1982
Additional lyrics by Wayne A. Schneider, 2021

She always comes on at night
The mean and angry type
Nothing is true
I’ve seen her there before
Bitching and moaning
Ooh, she’s shittin’ on you
But her lies come from the core

So many are plain to see
Don’t you think she does it for glee
The woman’s a child, a hell-cat famed
By the Right as a rising star
What is the matter?
If you listen for long
Your brain’s gonna let a fart

(Oh-oh, here she comes)
Watch out boy
She’ll screw you up
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
She’s a Fact Cheater

(Oh-oh, here she comes)
Watch out boy
She’ll screw you up
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
She’s a Fact Cheater

I wouldn’t if you like Truth
I know what she will do
It’s deadly man, and she could really
Strip her words apart
Mind all her blather
Ooh, the truth isn’t there
But the least is in her heart

(Oh-oh, here she comes)
Watch out boy
She’ll screw you up
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
She’s a Fact Cheater

(Oh-oh, here she comes)
Watch out boy
She’ll screw you up
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
She’s a Fact Cheater

[Instrumental Interlude.  Love the bass.]

Ooooooooh

Here she comes
Watch out boy
She’ll screw you up

She’ll always come on at night, ooh-oh

Very Bad Writer (A Song Parody)

There are certain liberal websites (news aggregators, as they’re called) that employ some very terrible writers. I won’t name them here though I’m sure some of you might in the comments. (Comments? What comments, Wayne?) I hope you enjoy this song parody of “Paperback Writer.”

Very Bad Writer

Original words and music “Paperback Writer” by John Lennon and Paul McCartney 1966
Additional lyrics by Wayne A. Schneider 2021

Very bad writer (Very bad writer, writer)

Dear Sir or Madam did you read my post?
I’m getting paid to write, isn’t that the most?
I’m based in a cellar not too far from here
And I got this job
Where I’m paid to be a very bad writer
Very bad writer

It’s a dirty website with a dirty plan
How it clings to life I don’t understand
My fun is looking through my hate e-mail
It’s a heady mob
And they say that I’m a very bad writer
Very bad writer

Very bad writer (Very bad writer, writer)

It’s a thousand letters give or take a few
I’ll be writing more just to sneak it through
I can make it wronger ‘cause I like my style
Then I’ll change it ’round
‘Cause I want to be a very bad writer
Very bad writer

If you really like it I’ll be quite surprised
I could make a copy for the other sites
If you must berate me you can write me here
But I need a place
Where I get to be a very bad writer
Very bad writer

Very bad writer (Very bad writer, writer)
(Very bad writer) Very bad writer
(Very bad writer) Very bad writer
(Very bad writer) Very bad writer
(Very bad writer) Very bad writer
(Very bad)

While My Alarm Gently Beeps (A Song Parody)

While My Alarm Gently Beeps
Original Words & Lyrics “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”
by George Harrison 1968
Additional Lyrics by Wayne A. Schneider 2020

I look at them all see the scam they’re completing
While my alarm gently beeps
I toke at my bowl and I see it depleting
While my alarm gently beeps

I don’t know why nobody polled you
How do they hold your trust
I don’t know how someone had rolled you
They caught and trolled you

I look at his words and I notice he’s daring
While my alarm gently beeps
Whenever on stage he’ll just surely be scaring
While my alarm gently beeps

I don’t know how progress reverted
They had converted youth
I don’t know how facts were averted
No one inserted truth

I look at them all see the scam they’re completing
While my alarm gently beeps
Look at them all
Still my alarm gently beeps

You Always Give Me Baloney

You Always Give Me Baloney
Original words and music “You Never Give Me Your Money”
by John Lennon and Paul McCartney 1970
Additional lyrics Wayne A. Schneider 2019

You always give me baloney, you never give me an honest answer
And in the middle of interrogation you melt down
I never said you were dumber, I always said there were stipulations
And in the middle of the conversation I melt down

At a cottage you don’t rent,

Faker Street (A Song Parody)

You may have heard that I’m not a big fan of Donald J. Trump. That may, in fact, be just about the nicest thing I’ve said about him over the past three years. I’ll have to watch that. The more you learn about him, the more you learn how insincere every single thing about him is.

He’s nowhere near as smart as he claims to be. That was obvious to many of us long before he stood in the pouring rain and claimed we had airports a hundred years before the first manned flight took place. He blamed that on the teleprompter going out in the rain, despite also saying that it didn’t matter that the teleprompter went out because he “knew the speech so well.” And before he said, “The kidney has a very special place in the heart. It’s an incredible thing.” That may have been a veiled reference to the First Lady’s “kidney surgery.” You may have noticed how much bigger her breasts are after that. (Your tax dollars at work.) And before he talked about having a “great brain” due to his “terrific genes” (because his uncle was an MIT Professor who really understood the power of “the nuclear.”) No, not only is he not MENSA material (I’m a former member), he’s not even sub-basement material. Don’t ask anybody who knows him today and who wants to stay in his good graces. They’ll all tell you he’s a financial genius, look at how much money he made (while ignoring the fact that he stiffs his vendors and workers, which he’s doing now as president to communities where he’s held rallies, including DC, to which he owes about $8 million; or the fact that he’s constantly had to renegotiate his bank loans he couldn’t repay because against the banks’ specific instructions, he sold junk bonds at stupidly high rates to finance the construction of his three casinos in the same town [where he would be competing against himself] and was unable to keep up with the interest payments on those bonds, which is how he managed to bankrupt three casinos; or that he would have made a lot more money if he had invested his inheritance in the S&P 500 and left it there, instead of spending it the way he did.) Ask the people who remember him from long ago, people who owe him nothing and who need nothing from him. They’ll tell you on which side of the bell curve the real Donald J. Trump’s IQ rings. (Hint: Not above 100. Maybe above 80. Maybe.)

He’s nowhere near as rich as he claims to be. That’s obvious from

Vladimir Putin (a song parody)

Yeah, this message is directed at you, Donald. Resign.

Vladimir Putin
Based on “Ventura Highway” By America
Original words and music by Dewey Bunnell
Additional lyrics by Wayne A. Schneider

Spewin’ like a stupid ass, talkin’ out in code
Tell me, how long you gonna say this load?
Some people say this crowd don’t look good in tow
You don’t care, I know

Vladimir Putin is your sunshine
‘Cause his ways are wronger,
His crimes are stronger than you surmise
He’ll give you dough, I know

Republicans Lie

This post is being posted again in memory of the crash sixty years ago that inspired the original song upon which this one was based. I hope you enjoy and I hope you’ll share it if you do. Thank you.

I have to thank Jane for her fantastic help with some of the words. Her suggestions really made this a lot better and a lot easier to write. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Thank you very much, and if you’re out there Don McLean™, I apologize. 🙂

UPDATE: At the very good suggestion of a poster at dkos (Fumie), I changed one word. “stay” to “pay”. I like it better. I hope you do, too. I am not in the habit of changing these things after I finally post them (except to correct typos.) 🙂

Republicans Lie
(Original words and music, “American Pie™” by Don McLean™,
Additional lyrics by Wayne A. Schneider, 2009)

A long, long time ago…
I can still remember
How that party use to show its guile.
And I knew if they had their chance,
That they would take an ugly stance
And maybe they’d be greedy for a while.

But Ronald Reagan made me shiver
With every falsehood he’d deliver.
Bad views for the nation,
I couldn’t fake elation.

I still remember how they cried
When they read about his widowed bride.
But something left them satisfied,
The way they used their lies.

So why, why do Republicans lie?
Give them credit how they edit
Out what they want to hide.
And them Party boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye,
Singin’, “This’ll be the way The Truth dies.
This’ll be the way The Truth dies.”

Do you hate the Book of Rules,
And would you make space for God in schools,
If the Bible tells you so?

Wake Me Up When His Tenure Ends

Oh, there’s that horrid man again. You know. The one in the White House.

“Wake Me Up When His Tenure Ends”
Based on “Wake Me Up When September Ends” by Green Day
Original words and music by Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, Tré Cool (2003)
Additional lyrics by Wayne A. Schneider (2019)

Donald was dumb to act
His innocence was never fact
Wake me up when his tenure ends

Likes his father’s racist past
Many fear his term will last
Wake me up when his tenure ends

Why David Perdue Is Wrong About Why Mitt Romney Is Wrong

Earlier this year, Sen David Perdue (R-GA) wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post criticizing an op-ed written by then Senator-elect Mitt Romney. My line-by-line responses to Sen Perdue’s words can be found [in brackets.]
Sen. David Perdue: Mitt Romney makes the same mistake that cost him the White House

David Perdue, a Republican, is a U.S. senator from Georgia.

In a recent op-ed for The Post, “The president shapes the public character of the nation. Trump’s character falls short,” Mitt Romney made the same mistake that many Republicans did in 2012 — a mistake that cost him the White House. [No, it didn’t.]

With his attempted character assassination [Donald J. Trump, Sr., is a well-documented misogynistic, pathologically narcissistic, money-laundering criminal, but do go on] of the president [who seized office with the clear and successful help of the Russians], a fellow Republican [when he wasn’t a registered Democrat], Romney put self-interest [Why do you make the assumption that someone else’s actions are always in their own self-interest when they conflict with yours?  Is it because doing things that are only in your own self-interests is what you do?] ahead of the larger national interest: conservative Republican governance. [This is a false premise. There is no evidence whatsoever that

Don’t Tell Me Lies (A Song Parody)

It’s about you-know-who.

Don’t Tell Me Lies

Based on “Don’t Ask Me Why” by Billy Joel
Original lyrics and music by Billy Joel
Additional lyrics by Wayne A. Schneider 2018

All the hate that’s in your grand display
Leads your senses when you think
Everyone you hate most everyday
Every skunk must have his stink
Don’t make up answers
Don’t fake your chances
Don’t tell me lies

All your life you never stood in line
‘Til you’re standing in defeat

Smells Like Trump Spirit (A Song Parody)

Here’s Nirvana to tell you why Trump is dangerous.

Smells Like Trump Spirit

Additional lyrics by Wayne A. Schneider ©2018

They all got guns, warn your friends
They always lose but still pretend
He’s overboard and self-adored
You know he’s just a dirty whore
He’ll go so low, who knows how low
He’ll go so low, who knows how low
He’ll go so low, who knows how low
He’ll go so low, who knows

Who’s Blocking Me Now? (A Song Parody)

Who’s Blocking Me Now?
Based on “Who Can It Be Now?” by Men at Work
Original music and lyrics by Colin John Hay, © 1981
EMI Music Publishing, Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC
Additional lyrics by Wayne A. Schneider, © 2018

Who can it be blocking me their door?
No way! Can’t see their tweets no more.
I can’t see what they tweet at night.
I’m very tired of wingnuts on the right.
All I wish is to see his word.
Stay away, don’t you find it absurd?
Best off if I don’t deride.
Don’t come in, they’ll only run and hide.

Who’s blocking me now?
Who’s blocking me now?
Who’s blocking me now?
Who’s blocking me now?

Who can it be blocking me their door?
Makes no sense, I’ve not tweaked him before.
If he fears, he’ll block all day.
He just crapped and there he’ll have to stay.

Angry White Man (A Song Parody)

I originally posted this on my original blog, which is probably inaccessible now. That was over ten years ago. It applies even more today to Trump’s supporters.

We’ve all heard them at one time or another. The Angry White Man on the radio or TV bitching and moaning about this or that. They’re never happy (unless some liberal is getting hurt somehow), and they always seem to have this hatred they feel the need to spew at some “other”. Sometimes they name the object of their vitriol, and sometimes it’s just a vague, nebulous group, which may or may not exist. For them, I dedicate this song parody. It doesn’t have to be about any one in particular, you can pick your favorite and I’m sure it will apply. Bill O’Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Michael “The Savage” Weiner (I hope you know his real last name is “Weiner”; it might explain things), Sean Hannity, whoever you want it to be. I hope you enjoy. This is to the tune of Billy Joel’s “Angry Young Man”. Thank you, Mr. Joel, for providing me with another great song to use. I hope you don’t mind.

Angry White Man
(Original Words and Lyrics “Angry Young Man” by Billy Joel
Additional Lyrics by Wayne A. Schneider, 2007)

There’s a place on the air for the angry white man,
With his working class act and his immigrant ban.
He refuses to think. He refuses to see.
He always believes he’s the best that can be.
And he’s proud of his views and the beatings he takes.
And he whines and he cries as he lays out the stakes.
And he’ll likely be known as the angry white man.

Russian Lass

By now everybody should know that Donald Trump, Jr., met with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya to discuss the lifting the economic sanctions imposed on Russian banks and oligarchs by then-current-President Barack Obama for interfering with our elections, which everybody also knows they did. Except, apparently, the now-current-President Donald J. Trump, who says that when Putin said he didn’t interfere with our elections, he believed Putin believed what he said. Trump forgot what Putin used to do for a living before maneuvering to become Russian Dictator For Life. (Do you think he ever intends to spend another day not in complete control of his fate?) Now, Junior claims the meeting was about Russian adoptions, but don’t believe that for a moment. In retaliation for the sanctions, Putin banned Americans from adopting Russian babies. So the Russian Lass was there to discuss Putin’s lifting of the adoption ban if Trump would lift the economic sanctions. And Junior’s own emails reveal that the meeting was set up on the premise that the Russians (who, he was told, were working to help Trump get elected) had damaging information on Hillary Clinton. Though Trump claims he knew nothing about the content of that meeting (or that it was happening in the very building in which he sat), within days he was on the campaign trail encouraging the Russians to find Hillary’s missing emails. And Special Counsel Robert Mueller knows all of this, and more.

Oh, BTW, for those who believe the investigation into the Russian interference in our elections began with the “bogus Steele Dossier,” let me enlighten you to a few facts. The FBI knew what the Russians were up to long before Christopher Steele gave them his report because the Dutch, who had been spying on the Russians and literally watched them hack into the DNC’s servers, told them so. Then there was Trump Foreign Policy Team member George Papadopoulos who told an Australian diplomat the Russians had dirt on Hillary Clinton. This was before well-respected British former spy Christopher Steele came to the FBI with information he independently uncovered showing the Russians were trying to influence our elections, and the Trump campaign team was involved somehow. And despite Trump’s official claims that there was “no collusion” between his campaign team and Russia, the FBI recorded NSA Director-nominee Michael Flynn (who was fired by Obama for being untrustworthy, which he warned Trump about when they met) talking to Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak about lifting the sanctions. Before they were in office. Which is highly illegal. So Trump is lying. It’s impossible to actually believe he knew nothing about what was discussed at a meeting with Junior, son-in-law Jared Jushner, and campaign manager Paul Manafort (who was hired for his connections to Russia, as were many of the people in Trump’s campaign, as well as his involvement with money laundering with Donald Trump, and who is cooperating with Mueller.) Why would Junior not tell him about it, even if to say the Russians couldn’t deliver what they promised, even though they were already doing it? And why would Trump start encouraging the Russians to keep hacking if he didn’t know they were doing it? When Trump claims, “There was no collusion, no collusion,” there is video of him colluding with the Russians. Trump is screwed. And not just from Mueller. New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is investigating the Trump Organization’s involvement with all those Russian mobsters buying up Trump properties at ridiculously high prices. And Trump has no authority to pardon anyone for violating New York State laws. If Trump tries to fire Mueller, look for Schneiderman to announce charges against Kushner. Jared owes a bank over a billion dollars, and the note is due soon.

Now that you have some of the background, please enjoy this parody of Styx’ “Renegade.”

Oh, Donald, I’m in fear for our lives from the long harm that you’ve brought
Lawman has put an end to your conning and you’re so far from alone
Oh Donald I can hear you lyin’, you’re so scared and not alone
Dang, Man, it’s comin’ down to the wire and you don’t have very long

The jig is up, the news is out
You’re totally guilty

Original words and music “Everybody Wants You” by William H Squier, 1982
Additional lyrics by Wayne A Schneider, 2017

You think they’re coming for you every night
Such apprehension would call for you to tread light
This POTUS business, you think it’s a bore
It makes you restless, it’s something you can’t do much more

Get outta town, spend our dime on your fun
You never let up, say you’ll make one more run

Sign of Your Crimes (A Song Parody)

This is about Donald Trump, of course. I don’t think I’ve ever done a parody of a song that was released just a few days ago. I hope I didn’t ruin this really nice song for you, but if you like it, I hope you share it. Thanks.

Sign of Your Crimes
Original words and music “Sign of the Times” by Harry Styles, Tyler Johnson, Alex Salibian, Ryan Nasci, Mitch Rowland, and Jeff Bhasker (2017)
Additional lyrics by Wayne A. Schneider (2017)

Just stop your lying, it’s a sign of your crimes
Welcome to the final blow
Hope you’re wearing your jail clothes
You can’t bribe the court on the way to the trial
You look pretty screwed from here
‘Cause you ain’t really good

You never learn what’s been heretofore
Why are we always struck by hearing all
The bullshit? The bullshit?
You never learn what’s been heretofore
Why are we always stuck with hearing all
Your bullshit? The bullshit?

Just stop your lying, it’s a sign of your crimes
You gotta go away from there
You gotta go away from there

Presidenting Is Hard

In an interview with Reuters, Donald J. Trump, the man who did not win by the largest electoral vote total for a Republican (even since Reagan), actually said, “This [being president] is more work than in my previous life. I thought it would be easier.” This may be because Trump did not know that the entire White House staff would have to be replaced when he took office. He learned this when he sat down with President Obama after winning the election. Apparently no one on his campaign staff knew that either, including his future Chief of Staff and RNC Chairman Reince Priebus.

So I want to send a great big “FUCK YOU!” to every American who voted for this ignorant, egomaniacal, narcissistic, xenophobic, misogynistic, white nationalist, dictator-loving shit stain on the fabric of our society. Read a fucking book!

A Nutty Day (A Song Parody)

I love Sir Paul McCartney, and I have nothing but the deepest admiration, awe, and respect for his musical genius and creativity, and I would never dare make a claim that I could do anything better than he when it came to music. But there is one rather small, almost insignificant complaint I have (other than the official lyrics of “Live and Let Die” where he sings “And if this ever-changing world in which we live in [sic],” which can easily be corrected by changing them to “And if this ever-changing world in which we’re livin’,” and nobody would know the difference), and it’s that some of his most beautiful melodies are also his most saddest songs. Take “She’s Leaving Home.” Such a beautiful tune, and yet such a sad, sad song. “Cried For No One,” is another one. I love that tune and yet it’s hard to feel happy when singing it. And the third one, the one below, “Another Day,” is another great tune with such a sad story. One of my personal goals in all these years of writing song parodies was to take one of those sad Paul McCartney songs and turn it into a happy melody we could have fun singing. I hope I succeeded. And I hope I don’t offend my musical idol, Sir Paul McCartney, without whom a great many bass players would not know how to play, and I wouldn’t have been able to write parodies of “Lady Madonna,” “I’ve Just Seen A Face,” “Revolution,” (I’m sure he helped John out here and there) “Too Many People,” “Eleanor Rigby,” “Here, There, and Everywhere,” “The Night Before,” “Another Girl,” and the entire “Let It Be” album. Thank you, Sir Paul, and I hope you enjoy this one. Maybe you could sing it for us and give us an even happier tune to enjoy even more, even if it is true. 🙂

This is a typical day in the life of Donald J. Trump, so-called President Of The United States. Or as the acronym that’s most often used on the internet goes,

Donald Trump TV Star (A Rock Opera Parody)

This is a work of fiction based on a work of fiction which, in turn, was based on another work of fiction. The characters are based on real people who may or may not behave the way they’re depicted here, but it would be fun to think they do. This is also a work of fantasy. The real procedures that would have to take place are different, but let’s allow a little license so we can have fun. Besides, I’m just trying to make my made-up story more closely match the made-up story upon which this is based, which tried to more-or-less match the made-up story on which it was based. You can just think of it as “fake news” right up until it really happens.

In researching the lyrics to the musical I found that several versions exist. This is from the one I grew up listening to and the one you want to go by. Its cover looks like this:

I hope you enjoy it and if you do, please share it with your friends through the various media available. Warning: Not suitable for work. Void where prohibited by law.

Reince Priebus is worried.  He's beginning to think his boss might possibly be out
of his mind.  He talks to his dead father a lot, and he seems to think he's Jesus
Christ.  Reince is concerned about the kind of message his governance is sending.

                    HATRED ON THEIR MINDS
Reince Priebus:     My mind's in terror now--
                    At last all too well

                    Than the things you say

                    Listen, Donald, I don't like what I see
                    All I ask is that you listen to me
                    And remember--
                    I've been a right-wing lad all along 

Everything’s Alt-right (A Song Parody)

One of the greatest rock operas (and one of my personal favorites) is “Jesus Christ Superstar,” a story about a nice Jewish boy who went into his father’s business. (A Jewish friend from the development I grew up in used to tell me that joke.) This particular parody is based on the very popular song from that musical, “Everything’s Alright.” I feel bad because try as I might, I could not find any suitable video, or even audio clip, to post so you can follow along. But it MUST be from the original Broadway musical, and NOT the film which sucked hugely. If you use a clip from that it won’t match the lyrics because they sing it wrong in the movie. You know how these parodies work. Can’t have that. So you’ll have to drag out your CD and play along. Then again you should know how the song goes, especially once you start going through the words. I hope you enjoy it. Let me know what you think, and if you like it, please share it. Thank you very much. Oh, and, yes, the Trump lines are deliberate.

Donny’s A Liar (A Song Parody)

In case it isn’t obvious by now, I think Donald J. Trump is more than just a bullshit artist, he’s a flat out liar.

Donny’s A Liar
Original words and music “Baby’s On Fire” by Brian Eno, 1973
Additional lyrics by Wayne A. Schneider, 2017

Donny’s a liar
Never toes the line he ought to
Look at him laughing
Says he’d like to date his daughter

Donny’s a liar
And we’re all laughing at his bitching
Hating those photos
Oh, they spot his double chin thing

How He’ll Screw Ya (A Song Parody)

The people who voted for Donald Trump have no idea what trouble they’ve caused themselves. Trump never did anything for anybody that didn’t also help himself, even if it was just to stroke his amazingly fragile ego. His Trump Tower Headquarters on 5th Avenue in NYC has become a Mecca for favor seekers and mendacious speakers, including The Donald himself (as he is [dis]affectionately known in his home city.) This is a parody addressed to the ill-educated, short-sighted, bigoted white idiots who voted for Trump. I hope that the rest of you enjoy it at least as much as they’ll hate it.

How He’ll Screw Ya
(Original words and music “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen, 1984
Additional lyrics by Wayne A. Schneider, 2016)

Now we know it was no secret chord
That Donald played and it pleased the horde
But you don’t really care for truth now, do ya?
It flows like piss, goes forth from 5th
The minor lies, the major grift
The awful king exposing how he’ll screw ya
How he’ll screw ya, How he’ll screw ya
How he’ll screw ya, How he’ll screw ya

His facts were
