Recent history - a fable

Recent history - a fableCommoner Ailes met Commoner Nixon and got on the same pageThe aftermath of Civil War exploiting common rageThriving on resentment they boldly won the dayAlong with the big-moneyed set that always gets its way
Commoner Ailes went on to be master of mediaPropaganda potentate for all the USAPaid by corporations that would rule us come what mayAwash in sprawl and credit cards and rebates Allied with Rove and Koch and all their tea matesSurmising victories and wrecking the statesUntil Satan appearedAnd said here's something weirdI have a Brylcream candidateAnd I can spiff him up in no timeHe will ventriloquize like mad
And in no time this Satan hadCreated a campaign to wrestDemocracy and toleranceAnd every evidence of helpfulnessFrom realityReplacing them with patriotic goreAnd regnant fear from shore to shore
But in the wings there lurk folk such as weAnd we are blessed to possess eyes that seeWe name the fableRomney Rove and AilesAnd show how Satan's wiles are doomed to fail
For every depredation they let looseWe come back strong like Teddy's old Bull MooseExposing their fascism and their bileAnd gathering the people all the whileUntil an endless army of the Lord Crosses the Red SeaAnd votes democracyAnd all are oneSave those who still don't seeAnd even they one day will beAmong those who are all that they will be
