One of the first things I did, parody song-wise years ago, was a take on R.E.M.’s “It’s The End Of The World” and the dangers of a Trump then and how we were screwed.
Then came a respite, a non-Russian influenced vote, a collective “shit, how far have we fallen? How could we have?” … a breath then to Joe …
Well, now we are back in the same screwed boat or at least the frightening possibility of such.
So back to R.E.M. then and another take, this time to “Don’t Go Back To Rockville” and worries of Democracy in a devil’s orange light.
Don’t Go Back To Trumpville
Looking at old hell a new time
Wonderin’ what we’ve done to be so cursed
In the possibility that
The Orange Devil could usher somethin’ worse
Only this time with an even darker promise
With vengeance in his blackened heart
.
He’ll persecute and prosecute
The order of which won’t matter when he’s done
Retribution will be his rally cry
To punish one and all
And any who don’t comply
And offer fealty on bended knee
With bowed heads kissed rings even fresh lipstick
.
Don’t go back to Trumpville
Don’t go back to Trumpville
Don’t go back to Trumpville
And waste Democracy
.
At night he drinks himself to sleep
Of despot dreams jack booting in his head
He envies Xi and surely Vlad
Even Benito and now new Nazi Klan
Who find in him their great leader to follow
With violence waiting on a call
.
Don’t go back to Trumpville
Don’t go back to Trumpville
Don’t go back to Trumpville
And waste our future years
.
Some though feel that there’s no need to worry
Head in sand they see no real ur-gency
But anyone who’s not head under ground knows the danger that is found
In another orange presidency
It’s not the way to protect our liberty
And our too weak now Democracy
.
Don’t go back to Trumpville
Don’t go back to Trumpville
Don’t go back to Trumpville
And waste our future years
.
Don’t go back to Trumpville
Don’t go back to Trumpville
Don’t go back to Trumpville
And waste Democracy
