WHO’S GETTING PAID
Sung to the tune of “For What It’s Worth” with apologies to Buffalo Springfield.
There’s politics happening here.
The truth is nowhere near.
There’s a propagandist over there.
For what he says, I no longer care.
Isn’t it time we stop, drinking the Kool-Aid?
Everybody look– Who’s getting paid?
There’s been panic spread everywhere.
We’ll be totally oppressed if we don’t grow a pair.
Only the powerful can change their minds.
No apologies for covering their behinds.
Isn’t it time we stop, drinking the Kool-Aid?
Everybody look– Who’s getting paid?
Why haven’t the 60’s been brought to bear?
No one protesting anywhere.
People are too panicked not to obey.
They think they’ll get sick and need a hospital stay.
Isn’t it time we stop, drinking the Kool-Aid?
Everybody look– Who’s getting paid?
We think our freedoms are deep.
But we’re letting them go without a peep.
When anger reaches critical mass
The country will stop this Halloween nonsense and get back to work!
[Never mind the last choruses]
HISTORY WILL UNFOLD AS IT SHOULD.
