The Lyrics
Second stanza deals with the fact that George Floyd died of a lethal level of fentanyl (11ng/ml) which caused his lungs to fill up with fluid, which then overstressed his weak heart and led to his fatal heart attack.
Ooh ooh, I bet you wonder how I knew
Trump damn near died of Commie flu
Some un-named guy on CNN
Two other liars said, "Prognosis grim"
It took me by surprise, I must say
When he walked out yesterday
Doncha know I heard it on the Fake News
Not much longer will I lack clues
Oh oh, I heard it on the Fake News
And I'm just about to see the ruse
Briney, Briney yeah
(Learning about the Fake News,
Not much longer will you drive me crazy)
I know a man aint supposed to cry
But those pigs caused a Bro to die
Fools in blue can end my life you see
Cause they can strangle with a knee*
You should have told me yourself
That he ODed on fentanyl
Instead got stirred up by the Fake News
Not much longer will I be used
Oh oh, Im learnig about the Fake News
And they're just about to lose my views
Jakie, Jakie Yeah
(Burned up by the Fake News
Not much longer will you make crazy)
People say just trust what your eyes can see
Son, and those talking heads are liars
Now they cant hide the subterfuge
If Its peaceful, the why the fires
Do you think that we're all chumps
That all these fires were caused by Trump
Doncha know I'm inurred to the Fake News
Not much longer will the slime ooze
Oh oh we're fed up with the Fake News
And we're just about to blow a fuse
Coopie, Coopie yeah
Purged of all the Fake News
Not much longer will it drive me crazy
Wolfie, Wolfie I know ... that the whole thing is faux
Trump damn near died of Commie flu
Some un-named guy on CNN
Two other liars said, "Prognosis grim"
It took me by surprise, I must say
When he walked out yesterday
Doncha know I heard it on the Fake News
Not much longer will I lack clues
Oh oh, I heard it on the Fake News
And I'm just about to see the ruse
Briney, Briney yeah
(Learning about the Fake News,
Not much longer will you drive me crazy)
I know a man aint supposed to cry
But those pigs caused a Bro to die
Fools in blue can end my life you see
Cause they can strangle with a knee*
You should have told me yourself
That he ODed on fentanyl
Instead got stirred up by the Fake News
Not much longer will I be used
Oh oh, Im learnig about the Fake News
And they're just about to lose my views
Jakie, Jakie Yeah
(Burned up by the Fake News
Not much longer will you make crazy)
People say just trust what your eyes can see
Son, and those talking heads are liars
Now they cant hide the subterfuge

Doncha know I'm inurred to the Fake News

Purged of all the Fake News
Not much longer will it drive me crazy
Wolfie, Wolfie I know ... that the whole thing is faux
*This supposedly brutal restraint hold was only applied after Floyd himself asked to be laid on the ground, and after he said he couldnt breathe at least ten times. GF also was in a state of panic and made statements that he believed he was dying before he went to the ground. They had also called for an ambulance for GF because they knew something was terribly wrong with him. They were trying to save his life, and that knee restraint was authorized for use for that very situation

According to Scott Adams; not only Trump but more than 30 people working in/for the White House was declared healthy this weekend after having been diagnosed with the virus earlier. Unless you have a previous condition the Wuhan virus is now less leathal than ordinary flu.
Also, good use of the original, close enough to the source material to be really clever, yet original enough to be fun that way.
Putting Floyd on his stomach was to prevent him aspirating vomit into his lungs. Why do "peaceful protestors" carry guns and burn buildings? I didn't quite remember the original song, but your parody brought the melody back immediately. Let's hope a lot of people read it and enjoy. And learn how pacing really works.
Thanks Peter and Patrick (Wow, that's like alliteration .. or something). Now to expand on something Peter (or was it Patrick) said -- You dont necessarily need to change every line, you can use the line in the OS to set up a punch line in the parody. I did that twice in this song. If what you did cracks you up, you're probably on the right track
Not smart.
I'm with stupid.
