Lyrics

It's the same old song...

Dick and his minions with all their billions
Set up camp in town
THE WIND WAS BLOWING HARD AND COLD
The chants of their partisans scared honest citizens
And we all backed down
WE FEARED AND DID AS WE WERE TOLD

Before we knew,
They'd lock the gates and staged a coup
Out with the old, in with the few

IT’S THE SAME OLD SONG OTHERS HAVE SUNG BEFORE
It's a cautionary tale
THEY THINK THEY’RE RIGHT AND THAT YOU’RE WRONG
TAKE DOWN THE SHIP, FORCE YOU ALONG
It's a story we must tell

Dick was a miscreant, cruel and incompetent
Served by sycophants
HE NEVER EVER KEPT HIS WORD
Didn’t care about no laws, no rights, no single cause
And no precedents
ALL THAT HE TOUCHED WOULD TURN TO TURD

In every land,
He got us hated, got us banned
Still, we're the greatest, he'd pretend

IT’S THE SAME OLD SONG OTHERS HAVE SUNG BEFORE
It's a cautionary tale
DICK DIDN’T LISTEN, HIS PEOPLE, FICKLE,
TURNED THEIR BACKS ON HIM AND HIS CHILDREN
It's a story we must tell

With so much evidence of his incompetence
And shenanigans
THEY RUSHED HIS CASTLE, DRAGGED HIM OUT
They hung him by his feet, upside down in the street
For all to see
“WE NEVER LIKED YOU,” THEY WOULD SHOUT

His minions,
Who begged and pleaded ignorance
Said goodbye to their billions

IT’S THE SAME OLD SONG OTHERS HAVE SUNG BEFORE
It's a cautionary tale
BUT DO THEY LISTEN? NO, THEY DON’T
THEY CAN’T IMAGINE THE REBELLION
BEFORE THEY KNOW IT, IT'S TOO LATE

IT’S THE SAME OLD SONG OTHERS HAVE SUNG BEFORE
It's a cautionary tale
BUT DO THEY LISTEN? NO, THEY DON’T
THEY CAN’T BELIEVE THEY’RE BEING DETHRONED
Before they know it, it's too late
