"ABC Blues" lyrics

"ABC Blues"

I sit and watch the Disney news
I listen and I try
To kick the tires and dig for clues
Parse truth from the lies
Laughin' while I sing the blues
Contempt that I can't hide
Just cuz they say it don't make it true
Or prove they're on your side

Think I'm stupid, think I'm dumb
The wool's over my eyes
Firmly placed under your thumb
Blinded, hypnotized

The demagogues and oligarchs
Assure you that they're right
Then turn around and sell you the dark
And tell you it's the light

Think I'm stupid, think I'm dumb
A shill for the right price
Banking that I have grown numb
Depressed, anesthetized

I sit and watch the Disney news
I hear the usual line
The fearmongering platitude
Designed to cloud my mind
