I’ve struck out a couple of times in the last few weeks of trying to build a new musical editorial in the Attic. A couple of song attempts that sounded right sung in my head but in actuality? Not so much.
So a one here then that worked out a bit better.
Oh, and it mocks Jim Jordan, a man worthy of nothing more than a good mock, so there is that.
To Elvis Costello’s “Pump It Up”
Mock It Up
Jim Jordan feels import
Says this is of utmost
Importance of a sort
He gets to what is his real sport
Saying gov is weapon sent
While he’s Jim sweaty bent
Fig’ring new distractions
Nothing else matters
—
Mock it up
Even though we don’t need it
Fog it up
Distractions we feel it
—
Says gov weaponized
But not in the right right light
If you’re gonna weaponize
We want it with a left left prize
So we can order lives
Get “others” all in line
—
Mock it up
We’ll fake it and sell it
Fluff it up
Distractions fall for it
—
Hey!
—
Jims been a bad girl
Livin’ in his Trumpy world
Does what he can
To make truth go in a whirl
Living Trump bat ass unhinged
This’ll truly make ya cringe
Sycophant I’ll call you sir
Run through border walls I’m yours
—
Mock it up
We work in post truth now
Muddy up
Jim Congress waste time now
—
Now in a passion show
Start demanding DA’s show
Papers bout the real blow
To great leader you should know
We’ll keep him above the law
Not right to hold him account
He came to us from down the mount
We’ll make sure law for him don’t count
—
Mock it up
We work in post truth now
Fog it up
Jim Congress waste time now
—
Mock it up
There’s only our truth now
Muddy up
Making point to waste time now
—
Mock it up
We will make up the rules now
Fuck it up
G O P new false truth now
—
New post truth now
Different set of rules now
New post truth now
—
Call ourselves Ruth now
Hit homer for Trump now
Clear bases of truth now
—
Prayer call the lord and how
Charlatans gather up now
Cause god is Trumps cow
—
Call for pro-tests here and now
Insurrection again now
