Jeffs Wedding

god help us

It turned my stomach 
Seeing all these billionaires 
Gathering in the gross excess of it all 
The show of it 

Is Oprah friends with Jeff Bezos
Really - how is that possible 
He treats his employees with disdain 
By any metric he is not a nice man

And his fake fem bot wife 
Who looks like that 
Why would he choose her 
After the salt of the earth Mackenzie 

Sold his soul 
Is what it looks like from here 
The devil is smiling 
At all his conquests 

Im watching the NYC pride march 
The gay parade 
Here is dublin 
This sunny Sunday 

Wondering if we will have another next year 
Or will we be banned 
In a fascist america 
When being gay is outlawed 

Don’t roll ur eyes 
And look away 
Its happening 
Its here

As the trump bill gets ready for a vote 
And it looks like it will pass 
Because the GOP is owned by him 
Traitors to the American people - one and all 

It will end America as we know it 
The big beautiful bill is an misnomer  
The nail in all of our coffins 
Goodbye democracy 

As we watch helplessly 
Like we do the starving children in Gaza 
Push it out of r mind
Justify the cruelty 

Surely it wont be that bad 
Actually yes it will 
The world has gone mad 
Why cant they see 

Forgive them for they know not what they do 
A hipper man than me said 
Im not capable of it 
Its too much to ask 

Bezos was raised by a single mother 
He knows exactly what he does 
So do all of his guests
Posing for photos forgetting themselves

In their designer outfits 
Ready for a vogue cover 
A spot on ET
More worthless performative nonsense 

We have become numb to gross excess 
We have learned to tolerate it 
Celebrity worship 
Devoid of humanity 

This bill will kill people 
Period end of sentence 
We must stop it 
But how 

Will there even be elections 
At the midterms 
I doubt it 
Their evil plan is working

As we worship the ones hurting us 
Numbly asking for nothing
In an American stupor 
Of r own making 

The sickness in our souls
We need an awakening 
Beyond gathering in the streets 
A reset - a re birth - salvation 

Cue Carole king 

Stayed in bed all morning 
just to pass the time 
There is something wrong here 
There can be no denying 

One of us is changing 
Or maybe we just stopped trying 

And its too late baby 
Now its too late 
Though we really did 

Try to make it 

Something inside has died 
And I cant hide 
I just cant fake it
