Story behind the song
One mans approach to answering the problems of today partially a comedic reacton
Lyrics
Caught a train to new york city Took a plane to Paris france Hey there gal your looking pretty Lets get up to dance The computer chip has made us crazy The pumpkin king tweets the world is his All bow down to mister Mustard Went to russia to take a piss Chorus Ooo Im going down Rolling Yeah Baby Im going down rolling Tweeter went to see the monkey Moneky say how you been Tweeter went to see the monkey Monkey say yo took em in Out on highway 401 The cars where primed the girls were hot THe cops were waitin for the fun Steel rimmed chrome plated the lot Up on swatiska mountain Flash of lightening a touch of pain God sits in holy council Eyes are closed and hands in chains Gods lake it took a body one young child not to be What monster walks the earth now And flounders in the black dead sea? One day the meek and mild WIll inherit the earth this whole land The kings will be the servants The poor will have complete command Chorus All those who felt the pain They sang the workingmans blues They shall follow their false king And in the end pay their dues Chorus

Hi Roger, Excellent lyrics and even the "subtle" references in the song are not lost on my cold conservative heart. you truly are a master of the lyric. Tweeter went to see the monkey. Love it. And It is never too Late we will surely survive. Always good to hear your take on the state of the world. But... If I could pass one law it would be a president cannot tweet. Bet I could get that through both the house and the senate. LOL

Hi Roger, once again you deliver a brilliant song with a good kick up the ass to the people most look up to, while they in turn look down on us. So look forward to listening to your poetry delivered with honesty and integrity.
