Give Us Mob Rule

To the tune of “Give Peace a Chance”

One, two, three four

Everybody’s talking about

Marxism, Sexism, Ageism, Trumpism, Wokeism, Racism,

This-ism, that-ism, ism, ism, ism.

All they are saying is give us mob rule.

All they are saying is give us mob rule.

Everybody’s talking about

FBI, Antifa, BLM, social justice, “mostly peaceful” rioting,

Statue toppling, city torching, righteous looting, country hating, racial baiting.

All they are saying is give us mob rule.

All they are saying is give us mob rule.

Everybody’s talking about

NPR, CBS, CNN, NBC, ABC, the information industry,

The kings and queens of punditry, or would that be of perfidy?

All they are saying is give us mob rule.

All they are saying is give us mob rule.

Everybody’s talking about

Ibram Kendi, Maxine Waters, Al Sharpton, Don Lemon, Van Jones, Joy Reid,

Chris Cuomo, Rachel Maddow, Morning Joe,

The Squad, The View, stoking fear,

I think I see a pattern here:

Intense concern that’s insincere.

All they are saying is give us mob rule.

All they are saying is give us mob rule.

David Martin
