While We’re Debating Marx

PART I

‘O9 Honduras, we staged a coup

But Facebook debates Marx

’14 Ukraine, we did that too

But our problems? Let’s blame Marx!

The Fed’s supply of cash inflates

But we must fight The Woke

Taking food from the mouths of babes

But the problem is The Woke!

Drug laws, gun laws never fail

(Hey look! She trans? He gay?)

To put the non-white man in jail

(Protect kids from trans and gays!)

You’ll be molested if you fly

(You heard of CRT?)

If you cross our border, you will die

And I blame CRT!

Say NO to masks! No vaccines!

But let’s outlaw cannabis

And license massage, Reiki,

“My body, my choice?” Not us!

PART II

Say YES to masks! Yes vaccines!
