2020 PRIMARY BLUES

2020 PRIMARY BLUES

(SUNG TO THE TUNE OF “HEAVEN ON THEIR MINDS” WITH APOLOGIES TO SIR ANDREW LLOYD WEBER)

My mind is clearer now

At last all too well

I can see, CNN’s got to me.

If you listen to,  the news in the main

You might see what they want you to see.

Bernie! We started to believe

The things they say of you

We really did believe, our leader could be you.

But all the good you’ve done

Will soon get swept away

Socialism is the word now holding sway

Listen Bernie, I don’t like what I see.

All I ask is that you listen to me.

And remember, I’ve been on your side all along.

You have set us all on fire

The working class’s new Messiah

Main Stream Media hasn’t joined the throng

I remember when this whole thing began

No talk of President, for Senate you ran

And believe me, my admiration for you hasn’t died.

But every word you say today

Gets twisted round some other way.

They’ll misquote you and they’ll say you’ve lied.

Listen Bernie, just get out of this race.

Don’t you see we must keep in our place.

Remember Occupy! Have you forgotten how put down we are.

They are frightened by the crowd.

For we are getting much too loud

And they’ll crush is if we go too far.

Listen Bernie, to the warning I give.

Please believe I want this movement to live.

But it’s sad to see our chances weakening with every hour.

They are saying we are blind.

Economic Justice on our minds

Either choice will make my mood turn sour

Yes my mood turn sour.
