Here's my suggestion for a right-wing folk song:A CONSERVATIVE'S LAMENT
(Or "Life's a Bitch When You're Rich")I woke up one morning not long ago
Checked out the market on my IPO
My heart almost sputtered
When I discovered
I was suddenly loaded with dough, with dough,
I was suddenly loaded with doughCHORUS: But life's a bitch when you're rich
And you have more than you can use
Cause you have to pay taxes,
Car payments on your Lexus,
And don't forget your country club dues.I fired my housekeeper yesterday
She complained so much there was hell to pay
She wanted more money
But I told her "Honey,
I already pay you twenty dollars a day, a day.
I already pay you twenty dollars a day."CHORUS
I laid off all our company's workers
They were a bunch of snot-nosed shirkers
Now our factory's in China
The work's done by minors
Kept in line by a phalanx of Gurkhas
Tough Gurkhas
Our middle managers now are all Gurkhas.CHORUS
I used to worry about the poor
The lame, the elderly, what they had in store.
But now I just dream of
A brand new scheme of
Making money and how to make more
Make more
I need money and then I'll need more.
Okay, it isn't very good, but I guess that's my point. There aren't conservative or right-wing folk singers because their songs would stink.
