On and On
sung to the tune of “On and On” with apologies to Stephen Bishop.
There in D.C. they got lots of, witch hunters who,
steal your data, and they, abuse their power.
Nothing new in the world of political man.
James Bond wannabes and-the, prez’s evil plan.
On and on, they just keep on spying,
and they attack when they get caught lying.
On and on, on and on, on and on.
Much of history is fraught with vengeance,
audits, tapes, hard-drives and cams.
So they lawyer up when their plots come to light.
Get all righteous and childishly fight.
On and on, they just keep on spying,
and they attack when they get caught lying.
On and on, on and on, on and on.
Well, they act like, it’s the first time. They’re so shocked and appalled.
But they know how, to show it. The not-too-bright give them votes on election ni-i-ight.
Got the idiot box off and my nose in a book.
Won’t give the tabloids a second look.
Ah, but I’ll ignore the noise, I’ll just read and close-my-ears,
‘stead of fretting over their stupid smears.
On and on, I just keep on learning.
And I smile when others are burning.
On and on, on and on, on and on.
On and on, on and on, on and on.
On and on, on and on, on and on. Ooh, Ooh.
