The Lyrics
Jessie Jackson, give us a break.
We're sick of hearing those speeches you make.
You seem to think you'll stop war and disaster.
Seeing your name in print is all you're after.
Tell us, what will you do
To stop the fighting between Arabs and Jews.
Please reveal magic plan~
And Jessie Jackson, how 'bout The Klan?
Jessie Jackson, speaking in rhyme,
Stop with that pointless jive now
What's on your mind?
You say that whites have caused discrimination.
If Blacks want jobs then they'll need education.
Think of, money we'd save.
If not for Welfare families
Charity slaves
Folks have kids they can't afford.
And our taxes pay room and board.
Jessie Jackson, what can you do?
Poor folks are mesmerized by speeches from you
You say you'll help them
it's a case of libel.
Poor folks will always be here
READ YOUR BIBLE!
And Jessie,
fighting for rights.
Intimidated and hassled by Whites.
The poor and homeless have their day.
But Jessie Jackson tell me
Why not tell me?
Jessie Jackson.
How much tax do you pay?
We're sick of hearing those speeches you make.
You seem to think you'll stop war and disaster.
Seeing your name in print is all you're after.
Tell us, what will you do
To stop the fighting between Arabs and Jews.
Please reveal magic plan~
And Jessie Jackson, how 'bout The Klan?
Jessie Jackson, speaking in rhyme,
Stop with that pointless jive now
What's on your mind?
You say that whites have caused discrimination.
If Blacks want jobs then they'll need education.
Think of, money we'd save.
If not for Welfare families
Charity slaves
Folks have kids they can't afford.
And our taxes pay room and board.
Jessie Jackson, what can you do?
Poor folks are mesmerized by speeches from you
You say you'll help them
it's a case of libel.
Poor folks will always be here
READ YOUR BIBLE!
And Jessie,
fighting for rights.
Intimidated and hassled by Whites.
The poor and homeless have their day.
But Jessie Jackson tell me
Why not tell me?
Jessie Jackson.
How much tax do you pay?

brilliant
Jesse Jackson risked his life -- literally -- to make sure the right to vote was enforced for everybody. He is a hero, however flawed.
Did the song touch a nerve with you Michael? You know this is a parody right? We're all flawed. Chill out.
