Name: Sinking A Hole
Duration: P00H02M34S
Description: This is a relatively light, cheery, bouncy I-hate-the-Trump-administration song. They can't all be screaming rage. Well, okay, they CAN, but sometimes something more quiet comes out. I still have a couple of Gilbert & Sullivan parodies to record yet.

lyrics

I'm sinking a hole where the swamp comes in,
And stops the country from functioning
As it should go....

I'm firing the cranks that run through the door,
The door that keeps revolving,
And there they go....

And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong -- I'm right!
I've made us strong, I'm right!
I'm never wrong.
See the people standing there who disagree and never win
And wonder why I seem to hate the poor.

I'm building hotels and I'm laundering funds,
While blaming Crooked Hillary
For the shitshow....

And it really doesn't matter that Scott Pruitt rent
Our whole environment
Out to Big Oil.
People try to make ends meet while I give tax breaks to Wall Street,
I wonder why they don't fall in my hole.

I'm taking the time for a number things
That should win me a Nobel Prize,
But they won't, though....

Sinking a hole where the swamp comes in,
Stops the country from functioning
As it should go....

This album is absolutely lovely-- the amazingly expressive readings from the book that inspired it, and the folksy songs that retell the tales in a brand-new way are lovely, and the lyrics are delightfully clever. Solidly an all-time favorite! kiritanpo
