I invite you all to tiptoe back to the policy issues.

Does this mean we don't get to hear the song then? The bare lyrics of which you started this thread with? Your views on the issues are clear enough and probably even right, but we don't really know whether the song is good or funny without hearing it. Quite a few people are a bit sensitive about having their dead friends and relatives written off as 'scum' in the name of comedy, and it would be interesting and educational to see how you manage to turn it into a source of amusement merely by the act of performance.

Who or what, exactly, are you satirising? I'm afraid I just don't get the joke..
