The Lyrics
I originally did a similar parody of same OS for another website 4 years ago. So this is an update. First stanza of 2019 parody is pretty good so I'll tack that on at the end
There's a Hunter with a coke bag
Living in the DC hood
He's got FBI covering for his dumb ass
You know he thinks he's got it so good
Now there's a black girl at a podium
Sweeping blow under the rug
And I looked at her and said
Hey Jean Pierre, I remember it was a scandal
To be .. hooked on drugs
Ah, but this aint America, for you and me
This aint America .. Something obscene
This aint America .. How are free?
Little bleak houses for you and me
Well there's a mother .. at a school board
Protesting sex indoctrination
She's got a creepy book, with creepy pics
Says, "Lord, this must rate a comdemnation"
Cause they told her, back in high school
"Girl, you get to air your views"
But, just like everything else, these sacred rights
No longer meant for you
Aaah, but this aint America
This aint America, where he can be she
This aint America, no speech for thee
Little bleak houses for you and me
Now there's people and more people
Getting more and more pissed, pissed, pissed
Go to protest at Capitol Hill
And they treat you like some terrorist!
Now there's whiners and there's workers
And thats a real big deal
Because the essential men feel
The chill and the shrills and the sheer ill will
Now this aint America, for you and me
This aint America, they rule by decree
This aint America, we're forced to agree
Little bleak houses for you and me
Must take back America, for you and me
Take back America, junk* this PC
Take back America, restore the FREE!
YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!
Little fierce MAGAs like you and me
(Four years ago, a gay pride march in San Fran showed its own intolerant side by refusing to allow a Jewish lesbian to carry a banner with the Star of David on it. The name of this song was "Little Pink Triangles" which was the symbol the Jewish woman was supposed to be wearing ...)
Theres some gay men with their gay rights
Living in a San Fran hood
They got a gay pride march
Coming to their hometown
You know, they think they got it so good
Now theres a woman with a banner
Featuring the David star
And they come to her and say
Hey, Jew Dyke, we cant permit you to
Blot our March
Living in the DC hood
He's got FBI covering for his dumb ass
You know he thinks he's got it so good
Now there's a black girl at a podium
Sweeping blow under the rug
And I looked at her and said
Hey Jean Pierre, I remember it was a scandal
To be .. hooked on drugs
Ah, but this aint America, for you and me
This aint America .. Something obscene
This aint America .. How are free?
Little bleak houses for you and me
Well there's a mother .. at a school board

She's got a creepy book, with creepy pics

But, just like everything else, these sacred rights
No longer meant for you
Aaah, but this aint America
This aint America, where he can be she
This aint America, no speech for thee

Would have been nice if your song matched the OS in terms of rhyme and pacing. But that’s just how I roll when it comes to writing…
Sometimes, I roll that way too. For example, about 8 years ago, I parodied the entire album of "Abby Road" .. 256 lines and not a single error. But then again, when the singer of an OS is basically half-singing half-mumbling a poorly constructed, overly long, final line to a stanza, I'll give myself a gimme. It still "sings" like the original
