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
