The Hoax of Science

(Music by P Simon; new lyrics by Chinh Le, December 2017)

"Hello darkness, MY old friend, it’s time for ME to tweet again,

Because a vision softly is creeping from the Fox News  Ihave been watching,

And the vision that was planted in MY brain still remains: 

“Confront the Hoax of Science”.

In restless dreams I walk alone, MY eyes are glued to MY cell phone,

Gonna watch all those cable news, gotta save folks from the fake news,

“Make AMErica Great Again”, “ ‘MErica First again” - I proclaim!

So, expose the Hoax of Science.

And in the naked light I saw 10,000 people, millions more,

People shouting: “No more immigrants”, people shouting: “Bring us back the Khan”. 

People carrying signs “Build a Wall !”,  “Buy more guns to create more jobs”,

And shut off the Hoax of Science.

Fools - say  I- you do not know, science like a cancer grows.

Life is just another TV show, you’ve got to deal your enemy a blow,

Words like “fetus” and “diversity” must be erased. “Evidence-based”

Is just a Hoax of Science.

The trickle down economy is fantastic for you and ME;

CO2 is good for Mother Earth, Coal and Oil will bring our own rebirth,

If things don’t turn out MY way, there’re others to blame, and to shame

Their wicked Hoax of Science.

And the people bow to ME, to their neon God – that’s ME!

Hail to the greatest genius– that’s ME! And to my new code of Morality!

Re-write history in the glory of MY Fantasies; MY Realities will lay the new laws of Science.
