Subject: Lyr Add: THE INNOCENT VOTER SWALLOWED A LIE From: Mickey191 Date: 26 Apr 04 - 12:03 AM This was sung at an Earthday Ceremony in Palo Alto, Ca. yesterday to wild applause. You can sing it to the tune of "There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly." "THE INNOCENT VOTER SWALLOWED A LIE" The innocent voter swallowed a lie. I don't know why she swallowed a lie-- The price was high! The innocent voter swallowed her doubt of what the war was all about. She swallowed her doubt to swallow the lie I don't know why she swallowed a lie-- The price was high! The innocent voter swallowed some fluff She didn't know - it was just a bluff, Extra cover to smother her doubt Of what the war was all about. She swallowed her doubt to swallow the lie I don't know why she swallowed a lie-- The price was high! The innocent voter swallowed some spin Blinding her to the fix we're in She swallowed the spin to spin the fluff That she didn't know - was just a bluff, Extra cover to smother her doubt Of what the war was all about. She swallowed her doubt to swallow the lie I don't know why she swallowed a lie-- The price was high! The innocent voter swallowed some TRUTH SERUM! The TRUTH SERUM unspun the spin that covered up the fix we're in! The TRUTH SERUM dissolved the fluff And told her that she'd had enough! The TRUTH SERUM strengthened her doubt Of what the war was all about. The TRUTH SERUM extracted the lie And then she saw the price was high. The innocent voter said "War isn't good! It's not even going as well as it should! No wonder I felt all sick and bloated! I'm lucky this happened - before I voted!" |

Subject: RE: BS: Political Song BS?? From: paddymac Date: 26 Apr 04 - 11:45 PM I like it. We should keep a separate file for political songs this year, especially in the States. There's already great clouds of fluff and spin. All ye great Mudcatter song writers, rattle your sabers and pick up your pens to do battle, and keep a special eye out for humor - it lasts longer and feels better. |
