Amend, my friend. Amend, my friend.
Speech is for sale, and that’s no joke
wealthy old men writing big fat checks
Just ask the brothers Koch
They say it’s better than sex
Amend, my friend. Amend, my friend.
Have you heard the joke about the radical judge
who sat on the court supreme?
Oh, that’s right, it was more than one
it was five who voted to deem
Money is speech, ha ha ha,
no really, that’s the new law
Amend, my friend. Amend, my friend.
Have you ever heard a corporation fart?
Do they grow old and die?
Do they have a brain or heart?
Do they bleed like you and I?
Amend, my friend. Amend, my friend.
Amend, my friend. Amend, my friend.

Bernie Sanders?
Who the hell is he?
A friend of you and me
A man of integrity
Bernie Sanders
Who the hell is he?
A 21st century revolutionary
Stand with Bernie 2016
It's time we stop
The Wall Street machine
Bernie Sanders
Who the hell is he?
Listen to him speak
Maybe then you'll see
We are red, white, and blue
Not the red, white, and green
Stand with Bernie 2016

Elmo in the driver's seat
Of the Twitter Crash Test Car
Everybody jumpin' out
To see the fire from afar
LOL he tweeted
As he sped to the wall
A smiley face with crying eyes
Was the last thing that we saw
And that was it, goodbye Twitter
Rest In Peace my friend
Elmo killed that little blue bird
What the hell did he intend?
Coding Efficiency Zero
Leadership negative five
Why did that boy Elmo
Not keep that bird alive?
Space Karen, Supreme Parasite
Petulant Pimple on the face of Pride
Ignorance, hubris, stupidity collide
Elmo took that little blue bird for a ride
Rest In Peace Twitter
No autopsy necessary
Cause of Death: Hardcore Chaos
And ignorance a-plenty
In attendance at the funeral
Icarus and Bellerophon
Ajax, Achilles
Dunning Kruger and Kardashian
Space Karen, Supreme Parasite
Petulant Pimple on the face of Pride
Ignorance, hubris, stupidity collide
Elmo took that little blue bird for a ride
Elmo took that little blue bird for a ride
Elmo took that little blue bird for a ride

I woke up this morning feeling the Bern
Something inside me starting to squirm
I woke up this morning washed my face
Feeling the Bern all over the place
Can you feel the Bern? Can you feel the Bern?
Can you feel the Bern? Can you feel the Bern?
I woke up this morning feeling so firm
I smelt the coffee, I felt the Bern
I woke up this morning in the United States
Feeling the Bern all over the place
Can you feel the Bern? Can you feel the Bern?
Can you feel the Bern? Can you feel the Bern?
Can you feel the Bern? Can you feel the Bern?
Can you feel the Bern? Can you feel the Bern?
Feel the Bern? Feel the Bern? Yao!

"Get that girl off the field"
He shouted from the stands
Then a smile he revealed
When that rocket left her hand
She shut em up, shut em out
Showed em victory
No-No! Ain't no doubt
Mo's making history
Mo'ne, they say, Mo'ne Ole'
Five foot four, nerves of steel
Dipped in powdered blue
She makes it fun, keeps it real
Plays some sick hoops too
If you think she's throwing gas
She'll curve it like Kershaw
If you think she's doing that
She'll slide you one called "nah"
Mo'ne, they say, Mo'ne Ole'
She's a girl with a dream
On the honor roll
Captain of her team
On the way to her goal
She'll wear that UConn jersey
To guard that hardwood court
Right she shows no mercy
On the little men in this sport
Mo'ne, they say, Mo'ne Ole'
Mo'ne, they say, Mo'ne Ole'
Mo'ne, they say, Mo'ne Ole'

I'll meet you in the middle
In between the two extremes
We'll solve that little riddle
And share our common dream
You go west and I'll head east
We'll meet in Kansas City
We'll set aside our big beliefs
And split a pint of pity
I'll meet you half way
Between the Left and the Right
We'll roam these fifty states
Until one day we unite
I'll meet you in the center
Of the circle jerking clowns
Between the pain and pleasure
Going round and round and round
We'll take the middle path
Holding hands along the way
We'll forget which one's white or black
Brown, yellow, pink, or gray
I'll meet you in the middle
In between the two extremes
We'll solve that little riddle
And share our common dream
I'll meet you in the center
Of the circle jerking clowns
Between the pain and pleasure
Going round and round and round
I'll meet you in the middle
In between the two extremes
We'll solve that little riddle
And share our common dream
Share our common dream
Share our common dream
Share our common dream

Helter Skelter Helpers

Every tyrant needs his cowards
To look the other way
Go along with the heard
Shout his slogans and his praise
When you see bad things
Look for the helpers
People assisting
The Helter Skelter
Look for the sociopaths
With zero empathy
Destroying whatever
Makes 'em unhappy
Look for the stupid
Guided by emotions
More like lizards
Than thinking humans
Look for the sheep
Following their faith
Loyal to their tribe
All others they hate
Look for the greedy
Guided by money
In love with stuff
Morality mushy
When you see bad things
Look for the helpers
Helter Skelter Helpers
Helter Skelter Helpers
Helter Skelter Helpers

Penal Colony Please

A Penal Colony Please
For the scoundrels and the sleaze
A Penal Colony Please
For the psychopaths, egomaniacs
Politicians and CEOs
The preachers & gurus who use
Their gift of gab to fool you
And all other the power greedy bullies you know
Let's put them on a far away island
Where they can never ever escape
Where they can ply their trade and perpetrate their hate
And proclaim they are really great
Where they can scam and lie
Steal and kill, take an eye for an eye
And barbeque each other on the grill
A Penal Colony Please
For the scoundrels and the sleaze
Just say no, get up off your knees
Quit their cult of personality
Don't worship at their feet
Don't give them your money
Don't elect them to anything
Don't let them be your king
A Penal Colony Please
For the scoundrels and the sleaze
Don't put em in charge
Don't make em a star
Put em on a boat to the Colony
Where they can never escape
I hope we are not too late
Yeah, we can do this, let's make it happen
Say it with me, say it with now
A Penal Colony Please
For the scoundrels and the sleaze

If you're not extremely white
Please get out of town
That siren is for you
All you Red, Yellow, Black, and Brown
That siren blows at 6PM
As a kindly reminder
To all you colored citizens
All you outsiders
When you hear that siren sound
You're visiting rights are over
You better get out by sundown
That's what that siren's for
Sundown Town
Sundown Town
In the year 2022
That siren still goes off
Under the red, white, & blue
It's just something we can't stop
We talk about tradition
We talk about honor
Talk about everything
But the ugly Sundowner
Sundown Town
Sundown Town
Sundown Town
