Updated lyrics to political parody
on "Heresy" by Nine Inch Nails
"Hyprocrisy"
http://www.houstonprogressive.org
We bought the Black vote
And sold it as democracy
We court Latinos
And pimp the poor minorities
Why point our fingers
Blinded by hypocrisy?
Make war with George Bush
Demanding peace across the sea!
If Democrats
Gave half-a rat's ass
We'd quit our fake campaigns
And make real change
We won't ban weapons
So any fool can use a gun,
But with abortion
We'll stop you from choosing one!
We blame poor Muslims
For problems in the Middle East,
While Corporations
Destroy the Planet, out of Greed!
Republicans!
Put down your guns!
Stop your hate campaigns
Create real change!
Hey Green Party
And Tea Party:
Team up and unite
The Left and Right!
We wasted millions
To clean up Occupy's big mess.
We could have paid for
Student loans and homes for Vets!
We'd end world hunger
Building clinics, banks and schools
With all the money
Rights and freedoms we abuse!
Hey Occupants,
Take down your tents!
Pay back all your debts!
There's no free rent!
Instead of saving
Historic sites and businesses,
We donate billions
To fund campaigns for offices.
Let's fix the Border,
Build factories and hospitals
As restitution
From Corporate fraud and criminals!
Hey Candidates,
Don't add more debts!
Stop entitlements
At our expense!
Make Government
Collect back on our debts!
Find out where it went,
Buy land instead!
Hey Democrats,
Get off your [backs]!
Stop your lame campaigns,
Let's make real change.
Republicans,
Put down your guns!
Stop your hate campaigns,
Invest in change!
===============
Would like to work with media and performance teams from all parties
to challenge, compete, or bet with each other which group can make
the best video, and raise the most money for the BEST solution to these problems.
Let's see if any big donors would sponsor a national contest for the
best video, most cost-effective, effective and collaborative solution
that encourages voluntary participation and investment from all parties,
and the best fundraising campaign and/or most money raised by which team(s).
Anyone want to be on a team or set up one?
