In anticipation of the idiot's speech tonight (song/poem)

[TomInTib]

I did this for the Boy, way back when. But, unfortunately, this is more tragically apt today than it was in what now seems like some other lifetime...


Well the farmer gets paid at least twice what he makes
And there’s no room for cold retribution
There’s no kangaroo courts
Or tax on imports
In Rosemary’s New Constitution

Every policy’s made with the President’s aide
Who is homeless and has no provisions
And when Congress gets stuck
On how to spend all our bucks
Well, a six year old makes the decisions

Because Rosemary knows when a change is coming too soon
‘cause she prays to the light of the Mount Hope Church moon
(she’ll light up the room!)
You can judge her all day
You can send her away
You can offer a better solution
But watch the House rock
When she puts her John Hancock
On Rosemary’s New Constitution

Elections aren’t fixed and the truth’s not deep-sixed
And the lever goes down when you pull it
We get to keep our handguns
Our Smith and Wessons
We just have to hand in all our bullets

And the Blacks own the food
And the Whites own the fuel
And the Natives own the land so they’re covered
The Rich own the schools
And the Poor own the banks
So they are all forced to live with each other

Rosemary knows when a change is coming too late
‘cause she prays by the light of the Mount Hope Church lake
(whatever it takes!)
You can judge her all day
You can send her away
You can form your own piss-poor conclusions
But watch the House rock
When she puts her John Hancock
On Rosemary’s New Constitution


At the time, I thought (hoped) that this song would not have any tie-in by now.
Just goes to show how wrong I can be.
