Congrats to Brian. It's an awesome song.
I got no band!!!!!


The oligarch blues

I ran into some poison oak
I really thought that I would croak
But I don’t need to scratch that itch
The money’s needed by the rich.

Without my heart pills, I’m so slow
I’ve lost my get up and my go
But I can manage comatose
If it richens Jeff Bezos.

The doc prescribed me boner pills
That gave my partner awesome thrills
But no one needs a "splendid truck"
I’d rather lower tax on Zuck,

My business just went up in smoke.
But FEMA tells me that they’re broke
Now I work from dawn to dusk
So we can give a break to Musk


------------------------

A song for our time.
Sung to "God enslave The King"



Vulgar the Flatulent

Thinks that he’s president

But he’s not a king.



He got the office back

Through a computer hack

But he’s not a king.



He isn’t hearing us

Sic Semper Tyrannus

Only hears ka-ching.



Drain the economy

Harming both you and me

Profit like a king



His job is never through

Till he bends over to

Kiss Lord Putin’s ring.



(optional)

Two-Fifty Years Ago

We fought to overthrow

A Fugazi King



For all the crimes he has

Lock him in Alcatraz

Where he’ll be the king



(Of a tiny bit of California.)
