With Apologies to Everlast
The only thing Michelle Malkin peddles.
Two Minutes’ Hate
(to the tune of “What It’s Like” by Everlast)
We’ve all seen the vets at the protest march, like the Bonus Army
He’d been maltreated by contractors who were so smarmy
He was stuffed in a moldy room that was filled with flies
“This is why gov’t can’t do the job!” is all they’d reply
But God forbid you ever have to walk a mile in his shoes
‘Cause then you really might know what it’s like to sing the blues
Yeah, then you really might know what it’s like (4x)
Mary worked in a clinic that was named “Planned Parenthood”
Security had their hands full, but their mission was well understood
But three months later, the atmosphere turned so hostile
People called in bomb threats, sent fake anthrax to make it not worth her while
One day, late at night, some loser found out where she works
He leaves creepy voicemail, he tells all her neighbors and he makes her self-abort
But God forbid you ever have to walk a mile in her shoes
‘Cause then you really might know what it’s like to have to choose
Yeah, then you really might know what it’s like (4x)
I’ve seen a rich man beg, I’ve seen a good man sin, I’ve seen a tough man cry
I’ve seen a loser win, and a sad man grin, I heard an honest man lie
I’ve seen the good side of bad, and the down side of up and everything in between
I’ve licked the silver spoon, drank from the golden cup and smoked the finest green
These jackbooted thugs hate dissent – they got the patriotism of a sheep
They wear it on their lapels, though it obviously only goes skin-deep
There was this kid named Graeme, who needed state help to pay for his meds
He dared to speak up, ask for S-CHIP renewal from the Feds
Then late one night there was a loud bang from beside his bed
Freepers had hounded and stalked, terrorized him ‘till he wound up dead
Now his mom and his dad are caught in the midst of all of this pain
“Facts don’t matter,” at least that’s what they say when they declare you “Fair Game”
But God forbid you ever have to wake up to hear the news
‘Cause then you really might know what it’s like to have to lose
Yeah, then you really might know what it’s like (4x)
… to have to lose
