Lands in Hesperia
from Bavaria
gripped by hysteria
to Bay Area
Blinded by hypocrisy
deluded we’ve democracy
while owned by plutocracy
we’re ruled by kakistocracy
We’re out of touch with reality
thinking somehow we’re praiseworthy
basking in bubbling hyperbole
telling others they’re blameworthy
In the ‘shining city on the hill’
conceited we carry on at will!
