(to Dave Matthews “Ants Marching”)
Don’t know where the thought for this one came from, no, wait, I DO know where the thought came from, it came from the same spot most of my parody tunes/musical opinion pieces come from … our everyday madness and the surreal state of things where rational thought has been just completely discarded for welcomed authoritarian leanings and profound ignorance, or flat out lies and fascist style propaganda. But the thought of the Dave Matthews tune itself? It just popped in head one day and seemed a good place to fill in those thoughts.

They wake up always grasping
At conspiracies of the big de-feat
That they say didn’t happen
Even with real truth so right-fully
Sitting
—
Tinfoil hats gleam in the sun
One powered by the big lying orange one
And they all walk the same line
Like drunken lemmings’ nose to ass that cliff is just fine
—
They take to their knees
Willing blind fealty
Tethered not reality
Indentured to cult
Blood oaths easily took
—
GOP share the same sign
New astrology for stars to now a-lign
In their own special lie sky
No other sky is right for stars now to a-light
—
Take to their knees
Willing blind fealty
Tethered not reality
Indentured to cult
Blood oaths easily took
—
He looks down from gold tower
Directs his masses to cower if ranks are broke
You must tow the company line
As truths are mine and your minds must keep time
—
As all you little pawns keep dancing
Marionettes in my power play
Look to the stars for new king’s
Star’s shine to show you the right waaaaaaay
—
Orangeman controlling the thoughts
Of a party hopelessly lost
Watch his dogs cut back on the vote
With a bleak end, dark end cut the hope
And an end to an autocrat lend
Democracy pop
You’re dead
—
Take to their knees
Willing blind fealty
Tethered not reality
Indentured to cult
Blood oaths easily took
…….
