Wrong Song In The Key Of Death

(Call The Villain)

by Raymond Nat Turner

Flaming grooves burning lard off

Drumsticks and gyrating boo-tays;

Lush chords working their ways

Through Jazz clubs and churches;

Melodies reeling ribbons in from

The sky---Genius of the giant,

Master Blaster, Sir Duke of our times!

 

But picking politicians,Stevie's either a

Dupe, dope, dunce or dilettante played

By star-spangled charlatans---corporatists

Cloaked in Populist cotton, like Chippendale

Dancers wearing suicide vests, Senors signed,

Sealed and delivered to celebrity-worshipers by the 1%:

 

Like a relatively unknown man

A hugely overblown man

A corporate grown man

Political clone man

Like a Skull & Bone man

A Rhine-stone man

Testosterone man

Bellicose tone man

Bomb 'em to stone man

Free-fire zone man

Jim Jones man

Villain called Drone Man

Call the villain Drone Man

Call the villain Drone Man...
