The Times Are Not A-Changin’ | Stan Morrison

jesus said and I believe it’s true
for now, malicious incompetence
replaces nixon’s benign neglect
in our sacred christian democracy
our experts are searching gospels
for the exact supporting phrases

the 21st century knownothingparty
an ever faithful unshakable base
keeps america safe from preverts*
moslems, browns, blacks, slants
our party’s proud of its supremacy

grim reaper’s headed for sainthood
exemplary virtues, daily miracles
reminds us of what’s attainable
with diligence and family values
our dear leader simply must croak
in order to reap his true rewards

*Keenan Wynn uttered the term “preverts” in “Doctor Strangelove.”
