They Want to Take Me Away
To the cadence of “They’re Coming to Take Me Away”
It’s getting
harder by the day
To keep us all in
line.
When they make big buildings fall
The problem’s with the thinking sort,
Who won’t do what
they’re told,
Who don’t wear
masks and won’t get jabbed,
Who just won’t fit the mold.
So, they want to take us away. Yes.
They want to put
us away. Oh yes.
In the DC jail?
Or maybe in a
FEMA farm,
Where brainwashed
grads without real jobs
Will control us
like Nurse Ratched.
Yes, they’re
itching to put us away.
It’s almost like a joke,
Because we don’t
believe the news
And resent illegitimate
government.
Right?
You want to laugh.
Could this be the land of
the free?
But they seem to
be serious.
And they want to
take me away. Yes.
They want to put
me away. Oh yes.
To make the “free”
ones more manageable,
Happily following
their puppet leaders,
And they want to
take me away. Oh yes.
Would Joe do this?
Do bears have
claws?
Who is left to
have our backs?
The Fourth Estate
is even worse.
And we’ve seen the
military,
Protecting them
from us in Washington.
Just think of guys
like Kavanaugh and Roberts.
Our goose is
cooked.
So, they want to
take us away. Yes.
They want to take
us away. Oh yes.
To the U.S. Gulag?
Or maybe to a
FEMA farm,
Where brainwashed
grads without real jobs
Will control us
like Nurse Ratched.
Oh, they want to
put me away.
To make the “free”
ones more manageable,
Happily following
their puppet leaders,
And they want to
take me away. Or worse.
They want to take
me away.
