Priceless!
In the same vein, I’ve had “The Old Dope Peddler” kicking around in my head for the last few days.
Great stuff folx! Someone around these threadz mentioned “Let the Eagle Soar” so (in the spirit of our after-work festivities) I canoodled this lame parody… could someone please make it better? :)
=====
The original, written and sung by
“I lost to a dead guy,” aka
John Ashcroft, former A.G. of the USA.
“Let the eagle soar
Like she’s never soared before.
From rocky coast to golden shore,
Let the mighty eagle soar.
Soar with healing in her wings,
As the land beneath her sings:
‘Only god, no other kings.’
This country’s far too young to die.
We’ve still got a lot of climbing to do,
And we can make it if we try.
Built by toils and struggles
God has led us through.”
=====
Ode to Arturo Gonzalez, current A.G. of the USA
(or, “It must hurt REAL bad to break the law while appearing to uphold it”)
Legal eagles sore,
Fighting Constitution’s lore
From Gitmo right to the core
Of what makes our hears get tore.
Sore ’cause sealing with your chains
Tries to cover shit for brains
We’ll find our Bell and let it ring –
Let Liberty and Law be King.
This country’s far too young to die;
Fascist boots are marching nigh!
We can win through with the truth,
Just let us count the voting booth!
=====
Love ya all, FDL! "
