lyrics

Mr. Putin Tells It Like It Was

So you say we’ve made progress?
Well, I want to take it back.
Let’s go marauding.
I really must confess
that I know it’s not the most
becoming thing for me to boast,
but I’m a Viking,
I’d like it all to roast.

I’d like to watch it roast,
and tell it like it was!
Tell it like it was!
Tell it like it was
and like it once will be.

You need a man without no guff
to grab you by your scruffs.
Please give your blood
it will be worth it for my love.
Now just bask beneath my strength,
I’ll use my Judo moves to dole out sprains.
They’re all around us,
Ukrainians with chains.

These Ukrainians enslave.
I tell it like it was!
Tell it like it was!
Tell it like it was,
and like it once will be.

These are my fascists
from ‘neath my mattress.
That’s where they stay
for that rainy day
when there’s badness
to keep at bay.

Abe Maybe Hamtramck, Michigan

In 1984, before our two earths were unjoined; our timelines shared a history when a mystery rift in our time and space did ope' and out of nowhere emerged this race: a collective of disembodied space-born brains.
