So you want to change the world
With your hula-hoop swirl,
and a Mag僕ight?
So you join the Vice squad,
but when things get macabre
you don稚 feel right?
So you call in the Feds
To count the paper shreds
down at Enron square,
but Bush denies the loan,
and Clinton hides the phone
at the County Fair.
{Chorus}
Now I wonder which
Pig they値l switch
Scapegoat that they値l ditch
To get the first prize.
I was at the seance
When Piggy blew the conch
for the Lord of the Flies.
The girls began to dance
To the Casteneda chants,
and the Humble Pie.
They brought Reagan in a chair.
To play truth, or dare,
but he would not point.
禅il Nancy read my palm
while King David sang his Psalms
for the Israelites.
{Chorus}
Now I wonder which
Pig they値l switch
Scapegoat they値l ditch
To get the first prize.

What kind of music do you use for this song? Interesting take on a few political people here, and on the whole political scene, well written.
-
My sound isn't working so I'll bookmark until I get fix. As a read, pretty darned good. I LOL when I read Reagan in the chair and Nancy's palm reading session. Pretty scary though when you think about, actually gives me the willies, to know that decisions concerning our countries welfare was being determined by a pyschic. Look forward to hearing this!
-
You and all your crazy lyrics!
You're just too funny! But I love all the political stuff, so I'll throw you an applause just for that!

I liked him too, but he let the republicans rout him, the fucking heritage club and all those right wing conservative think tanks and media monopolies. Clinton deregulated radio allowing clearchannel to monopolize the radio stations.
-
good job
Well, you've done a bang up job on this one. I naturally don't like the reference to Clinton, who's the best President we've had in my lifetime. Otherwise, this is a damned good write. I can't get the music thingamajig to work though. Anyway, good job, all in all. -
I liked reading it, would listen to the song sometime later. I liked the playful ness of this...a good job, but then using old words like seance (I missed that accent on first e) is not helping it as a poem, just a small observation!
Calvin -
I like that, that was a very nice sound, pretty cool beat. I love the lyrics very creative unique and really painted a wonderful picture with the words and imagery, keep up the nice work.
-
hmm...wow...i like the politics here. there's always a scapegoat and they're all a bunch of hypocrits and liars anyway...good write.
-
It's a song, you're supposed to listen to it (by clicking the link) and then get it...
-
Interesting write! Although I'm not to sure about the part about reagan.. Can't really see Nancy reading a palm!
Good job. -
hence is the American way. You have done very well with this. Thank you for sharing.
-
Had to listen to this again, let a bud hear it. He likes it too. Says he liked the groove.
Peace Muddy
Its sweet to hear and read. Guess I can multi-task
-
I couldn't get the link to work... but I live in the dark ages with dial-up so I imagine that is the problem. This kind of reads like a rap song. I'm not very political (yeah I live in denial, it's keeps me sane) Well expressed feelings Horus.

Did you click on the link and listen to it?
-
Flawless
Great lyric I loved reading it... it had a flow to it. Very well written. Good job!
~Elba~
-
Your lyrics were interesting. Honestly the picture scared me a little bit. This isn't exactly my style either but I respect it. Nice job.
-
I don't follow British politics with much interest and American politics even less I'm afraid. But subject matter aside this has a decent flow and although I couldn't hear it, I'm sure was performed with your usual wit and charm !
Kat xxx -
Pretty good
INteresting imagery. You lost me a few time when tying back to the chorus. Overall a pretty good work, although not exactly my style -
For some reason this took me to a club in London..this is fantastic, with a haunting hint of Morrison...this is tight as it gets. Even has a trippy sound quality as well. Lyrically, this is brilliant...bad ass tune
-
politics at a county fair
ingenious -
horus this is really weird for a political thing lol. you sing really well, ive listend to some of your songs a few weeks ago. i really dont know what to say about this lyrical heheh.
-
My how creative you are. Violent pic but some folks like that. Nice write you have here. I'm not a music buff so I didn't hear anything. First stanza was the hook and kept me reading.
~Dee -
i could not listen while i read since i clicked on this one in the featured box and am a blatant point whore...see, if i would have clicked the link to listen i might not have gotten my three extra bonus points for my comment
I thought the first stanza and chorus were the most clever parts of the write...interesting word play throughout...

This was really interesting and creative with great depth. I love the picture that goes along with this. Wonderful song, wish I could hear the music. You are very imaginative and wonderfully creative. Thanks for sharing this.
-
i think that this tells alot ogf truths and i like that! keep it up!
-
LOL- I think lilith has a crush.
I like this alot. I like that you found something creative and full of energy to do with this messed up situation.
M -
haha... nice... i liked it...
bexa -
WOW! forget the poem....your hott! gods! if i waasnt taken i'd jump right on top of you! o i'll listen while you read! but seriously your work is ver poetic, refined and artistic. You paint a story on which is really incredible. I love it. You are an exellant author congrats to you and your inspireing work!
-
See and I won't even comment on the picture but I listened to this and read it a few times before I actually commented. I love the voice, the words and the message behind it pretty damn clear and so very right. Great one!
-
interesting, !!!!!
-
First off young man, don't, I repeat, DON'T post a picture like this on your poetry, I will never, I mean NEVER get to the words.... I am stuck looking at the photograph! Still stuck! Still! Oh hell, I have to come back damnit, and read the poem later! I promise to not even look at the picture next time.
I enjoyed the political stance. Enron is a fucked up situation by far! But then the political leaders march to a totally different beat and although you know I cannot hear these lyrics they do sing to my poetc innards. I am going to share a theatre critics review of my acting as a comment to this work, its how I feel. Can't wait for your feedback:

I agree with Bo Peep. On a shallow note, you're EXTREMELY attractive. On a deeper note, you're an extremely talented writer. I come back to read more pretty much every day.
-
That's the kinda stuff I like! And I thought I was goin' over the edge when I wrote The Hole! People think I'm weird, but next time somebody says that, I'll smile and point to you. (by the way, that may have sounded like an insult, but it was a compliment-- I'm sure you know that geeks come across strangely)
-
Awsome!!!
-
like the chorus. the whole of it is pretty solid.
=]
l-. -
Wow. Horus8. Gulp. Good looking. Anyway, thanks for this link. Yeah it rhymes. But it is deep. I'm still working on all these words. New to the site and poetry. You are obviously talented. Keep up the good work. I really like this.
Love

Thanks for catching my author page typo. -
Me, very special? Nah...
I can spell 'Aleister', though...
I listened... very nice that you have the facility to hear these lyrics in context with the music...makes more sense...
Cheers! -

underinformed republican crappola
"I am not touched in any way" Oh come now Ferenc... I'm sure you're very special? -
hmmm...Great that your writing comes across as passionate, but I do not connect to this, unfortunately...it seems like a random heap of seemingly society-critical exclamations without a real vision from you as a person...but that must be my shortcoming, because I do not really care for the political subject matter that you write about here...I am not touched in any way, so this poem did not work for me. Hope it does for others, though!
Keep the passion!
Cheers!

Lol...this was rockin', dude.

Boy did she get some points with all those big words, or what?!? I like the way your mind runs,friend...If I may...I see many hours reading your works and checking all those damn links ya' got...

You remind me of the radicals of the 60's. I hear some Last Poets shit, The Who, The Doors, and many others in your words. I need the melody so bad for this one. You are so very political, and so in tuned with the bullshit we face each day. You have some here eating out of your ass so badly. But I really don't think they understand what your muse provokes. "You are a trip", to coin an old saying. "Humble Pie"! How old did your page say you were back then? Under thrity, you have an old psychadelic soul my friend. Keep sharing these lyrics, maybe someone will pick up on some real knowledge sewn in the words you spew. Stay strong in your stand to freely express yourself.

I never thought I could change the world... even when they say 'change the world, vote" I thought it a load of crap.. I've never voted, I even do research on each canditate, I just think they are all phonies... There is so much done in the world today by high ranking officials with power..it's overwhelming at times... Everyone wants control, it eases some of the fear..... Anyway I think the most we can obtain to do about changing the world is with our voices... pushing facts in others faces, these people who let everyone else do the thinking for them..... You've spoken here in a loud voice....and I respect you for that

it this code talk

and here i though it was the world

Control you tit, Jesus Christ? San Diego area residents are so frickin Orange County "Like Oh my God Dur" What the hell did you think it was a cell phone, perhaps a trip to sea world, Jesus Christ.
