The Bard's Contrarian Bar - Old Man’s Rap

The human race is in a hell of a place

when we try to erase truth from the face

of the earth we disgrace as we spoil the soil

and pollute the air with a Laissez faire

that would scare the hair off

the ordinary Robber Baron

back in the good old days

Ain’t no walk in the park when the money goes dark

and trillionaires triple down on the crown


Now I can’t be sure cause my mind ain’t pure

But I thought I heard the big man say

History don’t mean nothing I don’t tell it to mean

and what I mean to say history speaks when I tell it to speak

and it says what I want it to say

Cause it turns out history works for me

And I fired it yesterday

That’s right, turns out history works for me

And I fired it yesterday

Ain’t no walk in the park when the money goes dark

and trillionaires triple down on the crown


Now I can’t be sure cause my mind ain’t pure

but I thought I heard the big man say

Turns out history works for me

and I fired it yesterday

fired it yesterday

fired it yesterday


The Bard of Appanoose
