Week 34 - Fake Song (08​-​24​-​18)

from Song A Week, Volume 3 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

These are not lyrics and this is not a song
It doesn’t have a melody
Further and moreover if you argue then you’re wrong
And don’t you try to disagree

Truth isn’t truth and a lie is not a lie
Unless it’s one that I endorse
Let’s face the facts that everyone denies
Alternative of course

This is a witch hunt be on your guard
This is a witch hunt and I’m the star
This is a witch hunt a sad satire
This is a witch hunt a fake song and you’re fired

I am not singing and this is not a verse
And it does not end in a rhyme
Oh believe me this would all be so much worse
Except I got here just in time

This is a witch hunt be on your guard
This is a witch hunt and I’m the star
This is a witch hunt a sad satire
This is a witch hunt a fake song and you’re fired

Only a sucker would read the New York Times
Or trust a thing on CNN
The world’s against me I’m the victim of a crime
It’s not my fault we’re all condemned
