General 1 — Black Bamboo Recordings

Fake News Blues

words and melody: Allan Thomas
music: Jim Kimo West

V1- A vengeful wanna be king of the world
Ain’t gonna happen while the flag is yet furled
Ass-kissing sycophants beg to do his bidding
No end to the cruelty they’re committing

*Heard the CIA is plotting a coup
Is it true - Or fake news fake news

2- Ain’t buying into what you trying to sell
You and your crooked regime can go straight to hell
Want us to believe you love the blue white and red
We’re not all gullible or brain dead

*The emperor has no clothes only lives to accuse
He’s the laughing stock of the world
Mr fake news

V3- A bigoted madman bloated with revenge and hate
Man I’m not in the cult so I can’t relate
But I see the writing on the big beautiful wall
Your whole sandcastle gonna crumble and fall

*I laugh at the clowns and cowards the lies they spew
The future has a way of catching up to you
You and your fake news

V4- There’ll be tears finger pointing plenty of regret
When you put your faith in evil that’s what you get
Wanna turn the constitution into something we won’t recognize
And won’t be happy till democracy dies

* Sick to my soul of all the subterfuge
You don’t know it yet you lit a powder keg fuse
Heard the CIA is planning a coup
Hope it's true and not fake news fake news

V5 - Seen it all before didn’t end well
Underestimating a mighty groundswell
A reckoning for the mistreated and abused
Who's tired of you and your fake news fake news
