About 2011
14 years ago
We lost an innovative billionaire
Who may be slightly overrated
But what makes me truly despair
Is that Hitch's light has faded
SOPA was proposed and made it clear
They wanted to kill out free exchange of information
But we staved it off until next year
Much to Hollywood's frustration
We formed a SUPER CONGRESS. son
To solve our problem of massive debt
And to the surprise of literally no one
They haven't solved it yet!
We finally found and killed Osama
And I'm sure our troops had fun
But if you look at the conduct of Bush and Obama
It's clear that the terrorists won
In Arab nations across the sea
The peasant classes revolt
Obama says it's democracy
And clutches for your vote
But right here in the USA
When the people rise to fight the power
They're met by cops with pepper spray
And beaten up by cowards
Sick of unmitigated income disparity
We demand socio-economic justice
But Wall Street chortles merrily
And sends their goons to crush us
Obama pushed for indefinite detention
Of civilians who he brands evil
And it's barely even mentioned
And there's certainly no upheaval
The people are content to learn
Every detail of Kim Kardashian's ass
While their country around them burns
And they work hard to ignore the ash
The world all but fell apart
In the year of 2011
But compared to what may await us in 2012
This year may seem like Heaven
Who may be slightly overrated
But what makes me truly despair
Is that Hitch's light has faded
SOPA was proposed and made it clear
They wanted to kill out free exchange of information
But we staved it off until next year
Much to Hollywood's frustration
