A 2020 update of a song originally written for fred, with a new set of lyrics instead of those written by the late Gary Rosenberg
fred satire politics
Story behind the song
Gary originally wrote lyrics to my music, with the opening theme harmonized by violin, guitar and keys before David sang the vocal. Our recent political malaise prompted a lyrical rewrite for 2020.
Lyrics
More things change, more they stay the same
Still we try, stuck in the same old game
One day you're up, the next your down
It's a drag to contemplate another clown
None so blind as those who will not see
Despite the glitz, another travesty
Distorted image without imagination
A leading cause of growing consternation
"Great" 's a false goal, not one you can freeze in time
Orange calf, decidedly bovine
Bears false witness, constantly out of line
Renews the swamp, perpetuates the slime
