“Tellin a Lie” (with apologies to the Bee Gees)

Well, you can tell by the way I take the Fifth,
I’m a Democrat: here come the fibs.
Private schools and gated homes, I’ve got guns and you’ll have none.
And now it’s all right. It’s OK.
The Press will look the other way.
We can try to understand
The New York Times’ effect on man.

Whether to a brother or whether to a mother,
We’re tellin’ a lie, tellin’ a lie.
Feel the city breakin’ and everybody shakin’,
And we’re tellin’ a lie, tellin’ a lie.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, tellin’ a lie, tellin’ a lie.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, tellin’ a lie.

Well now, I get low and I get high,
And if I can’t get either, I’ll tell a lie.
Got the wings of Satan on my shoes.
I’m a Democrat and I just can’t lose.
You know it’s all right. It’s OK.
I’ll live to see another day.

Feel the city breakin’ and everybody shakin’,
And we’re tellin’ a lie, tellin’ a lie.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, tellin’ a lie, tellin’ a lie.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, tellin’ a lie.
