New Song: "Angry Old Prez" (Patreon)

I think I was deliberately trying to not write any political songs for awhile. No such luck. Technical notes: Because my voice is tightening as I grow older, I transposed the music from C to E. I may eventually go back and Melodyne the thing. Also, yes, I was singing that fast. Oh, and, this version has almost 1:25 of "Prelude" edited out at the beginning and end. If you really want it, I can put that version up as well, but I seriously recommend just listening to Billy Joel's original.

There’s a place in the world for the Angry Old Prez,And the self-contradicting garbage that he says,   gar-BHAZHHe’s the world's smartest man, he can do any taskBetter than all the experts. You doubt him? Just ask.And he sits in a House where the East Wing is goneAnd the Resolute Desk’s what his trophies sit onAnd he’s never earned one of ‘em, Angry Old Prez.

Read a statement or two from the Angry Old Prez,He can tweet twenty tantrums while we're in our beds,When reporters ask questions, he’ll always refuse,Insult them and their networks and call them fake news,He denies his misogynist racist attacks,But they’re always directed at women and blacksAnd he can't keep his mouth shut, the Angry Old Prez.

During his campaign the other year,He faked a gunshot to his ear,The gunman’s dead, so little blood, he healed so quick.He was at the dinner forThe White House Correspondence corps,Another shot to let him sell his ballroom shtick,Ohhhhh....

And there isn't a place for the Angry Old PrezAnd don't look at his close-up in 4K hi-res,He’s got orange foundation on most of his faceAnd a scraggly bird’s nest that won't stay in placeAnd the press corps and cabinet smiles as he sits,Either falling asleep or just taking a shitAnd he thinks that we think he's a Nice Guy Young Prez.

Conservatives would really thrive With Project 2025,They think the Constitution is a royal painOil barons, high-tech sharks,And crypto fascist oligarchsSupport the Prez and trust his quickly fading brain....Ohhhhh....

And there isn't a place for the Angry Old PrezAnd you can't trust a single damn word that he saysAll his people are evil, they're trying to exhaust All of us, if they do, our democracy’s lostAnd the press corps pretends that the whacko means well,He’s an agent of chaos, he’ll blow us to hell,Get the nuclear codes off the Angry Old Prez.

But we might have a Hague for the Angry Old Prez....
