While We're Debating Marx

PART I

'O9 Honduras, we staged a coup

But Facebook debates Marx

'14 Ukraine, we did that too

But our problems? Let's blame Marx!

The Fed's supply of cash inflates

But we must fight The Woke

Taking food from the mouths of babes

But the problem is The Woke!

Drug laws, gun laws never fail

(Hey look! She trans? He gay?)

To put the non-white man in jail

(Protect kids from trans and gays!)

You'll be molested if you fly

(You heard of CRT?)

If you cross our border, you will die

And I blame CRT!

Say NO to masks! No vaccines!

But let's outlaw cannabis

And license massage, Reiki, 

"My body, my choice?" Not us!

PART II

Say YES to masks! Yes vaccines!

Covid's airborne, not private

"So why's my cancer drug delayed?"

'Cuz the FDA knows best, you twit!

A trillion bucks for wars and spies

So let's blame corporate greed

Tax the rich up to the skies

To meet the budget's need!

Racists wrote regulations

Marriage, zoning, wages, weapons

But we'll add to these interventions

'Cuz WE have good intentions!

Snowden exiled, Assange in jail

A Surveillance State quite large

Same policies, but without fail

It's not fascist when we're in charge!

Conflict with Russia is fortunate

From non-white nations, we pivot

I can hate a Christian state

And still not be a bigot!
