Lyrics

Tar and Feathers
© Robert Neighoff 2021

I saw the news today
I had to rub my eyes
An old and angry man
Was holding a sign
I heard the TV sigh

Tar and feathers read the sign
Has America lost its mind
Tell that woman she must go
She told the truth a moment ago
And I can’t help but cry

It’s a long road to misery
When truth becomes the enemy

Give me liberty or give me death
Time to feel the devils breath
Paul revere yells out a cry
He’s better off right where he lies
It’s no wonder why
Boston tea is up for sale
Blame the Reds and cover your tail
Left and right full of rage
Schadenfreude has come of age
The signs fall at our feet

Marching to the drum of hate
Will this be our fate

Someone rang a bell
The heartland goes to hell
Johnny Pavlov speaks
Be careful what he seeks
It may be mud in your eye
Little droogie has a gun
Just getting started with the fun
Give him liberty or give him death
Stuck on stupid till his dying breath
And its no wonder why

Tar and feathers the recipe
Say goodbye to democracy
Amber waves of grain
Disappear with the fruited plane
Tar and Feathers
