I am hereby registering my lament
At the high court of discontent
If you can´t read The Book
Without giving me that "Woke" look
You won´t see
What you get,
When you get
What we see
I am not talking about race
No, at least not the one you think
The kind that´s in your face
As antiquated antics
From the bully pulpit
From pie in the sky
To pie in your face
In this world of Yin and Yang
We are forced to choose
To have our life hang
With the one or the other,
As in father or mother
Or friends and foes
Just to add to our woes
To win or lose
As in topsy-turvy and willy-nilly
Dems are touchy-feely no more
Reps are namby-pamby encore
As for me, I am free,
Being right that I left,
Not being in the fold
Not fitting in the mold.
Not being one of the foxes
Feeling small in their boxes
Some like it hot
Some like it cold
Me, I declare my passion,
And choose the middle motion
Having my country left,
Being right in the middle,
Where I want to be found
In the embrace of your arms,
Sipping café au lait
Feeling enthralled
By the power of your charms.
Since we make such a great team
To add to my irreverence
I'll blow off some steam
And have a little blast
Playing the part of the iconoclast
Some people declare seriously:
"Tis better to have loved and lost
Than to have not loved at all".
My slogan forever will be
Engraved in bold
In honor of you and me,
"Tis better to be held than to behold".
