I said stop and you say go

Over the proverbial cliff don’t you know?

People can’t seem to escape from the clown show

Whose the madman fanning the revolver to and fro?

Come on down you all to our burning town

The city council said they got this down

The whole place appears like a smoking mound

And I still haven’t heard that siren sound!

Stopped to chat with man from civil defense

He looked rather worried while gazing over the fence

And muttered something about the government having no sense

There’s no control over hypersonic missile events!

How much suffering does it finally take?

For all you zombies to finally awake

Most all your politicians are lying snakes

When’s the next major California earthquake?

Years of marriage and it was no surprise

She effortlessly left using her typical alibis

I am nothing but expendable I surmise

How many people these days are cloaked in disguise?

They said it was an alien invasion as such

And I wanted to actually believe so much

It seems our so-called leaders are out of touch

Love was once my favorite crutch,

And now the final insults are rolling in

Can’t figure out who I am or where I’ve been

Just finished my second jigger of gin

Into this fate with which I’ve befallen.
