Epigovernment: The New Model - 10

Tu no lo sabes

Many people feel that the officials in political government are merely fronts that do the bidding of some unseen group.

That thought occurs so often because those politicians are not seen as working for the betterment of the citizenry (the 99%); but, at the same time, "this could not be the reality" the citizenry also surmises, even though the father of public relations (spin & propaganda) declared that to be the true case (The Ways of Bernays).

I feel a bit playful today, so I thought I would do a parody of a once-popular song's lyrics to 'splain some of these things (the actual lyrics and the actual song are at the bottom of today's parody format):

I Write The Wrongs

I've been alive forever
And I scripted the very first wrong
I put the words and the policies together
I am epigovernment and I write the wrongs

I write the wrongs to make the whole world cling
I write the wrongs of Rove and political queens
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the wrongs

My home lies deep within you
And I've got my own place in your soul
Now when I look out through your eyes
I'm young again, even though I'm very old

I write the wrongs to make the whole world cling
I write the wrongs of rove and political queens
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the wrongs

Oh, my script makes you dance
And gives you spirit to risk a chance
And I prepared lock 'n' load so you can reprove
Dogma fills all thought, well, that's my place to start

It's from us, it's for you
It's from you, it's for us
It's an empire's symphony

I write the wrongs to make the whole world cling
I write the wrongs of Rove and political queens
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the wrongs

I write the wrongs to make the whole world cling
I write the wrongs of Rove and political queens
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the wrongs

I am epigovernment and I write the wrongs
