The Lyrics

Written shortly before the spy balloon was blown from the sky
Look up in the sky: It’s a Chinese spy balloon.
They’re telling us lies ’bout their Chinese spy balloon.
It is floating up above us with surveillance eyes.
It’s in the sky solely to spy (just to spy).

Watch, talk, blow away
espionage, espionage balloon?

Over us it is placed, the espionage balloon…
eyes in outer space in the espionage balloon
That it is spying upon us the Chinese deny.
But it’s to spy (so they lie).

Not blow it away?
The rap is: It might cause those below doom.

The Chinese chant a BS cacophony,
but it’s clear that’s it’s there to spy on us
Pentagon ponders: To be or not to be?
The thing has got eyes on us;
it’s as large as a tri-bus.

We know why it’s there, the espionage balloon.
Blow it from the air? Below there’s plenty of room.
China is a danger, and not just up in the sky.
On us they spy, telling lies.

Must blow it away,
Unlikely that innocents would be doomed.

“So, which is the way?”
What Hamlet might say….
