(“What about you, eyeballs, what did you see?”)

It couldn’t have been me, Sir,
I was front row, in my AOC t-shirt
Fois-Gras suckin on a press release, sir,
Head down, 4th shot, good little sheep, sir

Sit down, sweetie,
the adults are gonna speak first
They Trust the Science,
and they’re terrified of research
Here to thank our Healthcare Heroes
they’ve been feeding to the burnout, feet first.
Til, suddenly, they dip mid-shift,
take a header off a bridge,
such a shame,
they were really such a sweet nurse.

Now they’ll never get the card
and the cold slice of Pizza
meant to thank them for their teamwork

Now they’ll never get
the baggie full of Chex mix
which would be the one reward they’d see
for all the moms they had to intubate,
and the countless cries of grief
since we’ve been haunted
by the Spectre of the C-Word

Now all the applause for our healthcare heroes rings a very hollow note,
because we played it out like Freebird

Add the one’s and zero’s
and our fragile checks and balances
are checks for all the wealthy,
who have such unholy talents
that we think it’s patriotic
that we’ve all got zero-balances,
and re-elect Pelosi
so she’ll face our toughest challenges

Which is analogous
to water for a drowning man
Nancy disregards our impoverished
with a spiteful and dismissive little waving
of her withered hand.

Cause half a million freezing on the streets
is Biden’s winter plan

And I bet you swore they told you
you were voting for a different man.

But, really, all you wanted was a different man.

It didn’t make a fucking difference
if he finishes the previous inhabitants agenda, and starts auctioning protected land

Biden’s born to leap at any war
a donor’s check demands

Turns out that You can’t cure greed
once it infects a man.

Once they lose respect for human life,
and focus all their fucking efforts
on the Oil Baron Rescue Plan

Honey,
What are we to Hecuba,
or Hecuba to us that if she’s starving,
we should give a damn?

Why should we be moved to tears if someone isn’t eating;
we won’t even recognize
that food’s essential to our being.

It’s just us and motherfucking Israel
who will not guarantee
that food’s a basic human right,
because starvation is our favorite tool
of genocide disguised as
sanctioned Democratic healing.

That’s me in the corner,
losing my religion,
gouging out my eyes,
and dancing on the ceiling

Jesus Fucking Christ, what a feeling.
