So outstanding that some of the lyrics must be posted here:

'Cause I'm a liar, yeah, I'm a liar
I'll tear your mind out, I'll burn your soul
I'll turn you into me, I'll turn you into me
'Cause I'm a liar, a liar, a liar, a liar, a liar...

I'll hide behind a smile and understanding eyes
And I'll tell you things that you already know so you can say:
I really identify with you, so much
And all the time that you're needing me is just the time
That I'm bleeding you, don't you get it yet?

I'll come to you like an affliction then I'll leave you like an addiction
You'll never forget me... You wanna know why?

'Cause I'm a liar, yeah, I'm a liar,
I'll rip your mind out, I'll burn your soul,
I'll turn you into me, I'll turn you into me,
'Cause I'm a liar, a liar, liar, liar, liar, liar...

I don't know why I feel the need to lie and cause you so much pain
Maybe it's something inside, maybe it's something I can't explain
'Cause all I do is mess you up and lie to you

I'm a liar, ooooh, I'm a liar
But if you'll give me another chance I swear I'll never lie to you again
'Cause now I see the destructive power of a lie,
They're stronger than truth
I can't believe I ever hurt you, I swear I will never lie to you again, please
Just give me one more chance, I'll never lie to you again, no,
I swear, I will never tell a lie, I will never tell a lie, no, no
Ha ha ha ha ha, ho ho ho! Sucker! Sucker! Ooooh sucker!



Sucker, indeed. The Third Way mantra: "Who you gonna vote for, sucker?!"

I see interest in HRC in the real world. I regaled a Jewish friend of mine today with Obama's jabs at the GOP at the SOTU and at FNN during last year's White House Correspondents Dinner. She laughed, clapped her hands and said:

"When Hillary is president in 2017, she will tell them just where to go."

My friend is not really political, but she expects HRC to clean house in 2016. Reading DU, I'd think from the media stories presented, that there is no way she will ever get elected.

I neverr bring up HRC to people in real life. Now I'm starting to wonder if she does have a chance.

Obviously, people do know of her in real life and don't hate her. Of course I don't hang out with Republicans, Tea Partiers, Liebertarians or Paulites. A lot of people want this country to move back to the way it was in the seventies progressive era, but they know it'll be a hard slog.

We need a Dem in the White House, in state houses and a majority in both houses of Congress to get there.

The old gray mare, she kicked on the whiffletree,*
Kicked on the whiffletree, kicked on the whiffletree,
The old gray mare, she kicked on the whiffletree,
Many long years ago.

Many long years ago, many long years ago,

The old gray mare, she kicked on the whiffletree,
Many long years ago.

The old gray mare, she ain't what she used to be,
Ain't what she used to be, ain't what she used to be,
The old gray mare, she ain't what she used to be,
Many long years ago.

Many long years ago, many long years ago,

The old gray mare, she ain't what she used to be,
Many long years ago.

noun
a crossbar pivoted in the middle, to which the traces are attached in a horse-drawn wagon or plow.

But pronounce mony as "money". Its a pretty energizing song and the slight change to the lyrics would fit well

61. Stan Ridgway "I Wanna Be a Boss"
Sat Jan 24, 2015, 03:16 PM
Jan 2015


Well, I've been doodling on this notepad
And I been taking telephone calls
I can tell this job's at the end of the line
And I'm ready for the fall
But I been watchin' the boss carefully
And he always seems to be havin' a ball
And then I scratch my head and wonder
Why I'm down here and he's up the hall

Now, all of my paychecks aren't worth
The paper they're printed on
I get 'em friday
But monday they're all gone
There must be some way to change my situation
It's time that I took up a brand new vocation

I wanna take a two-week vacation
Twenty-six times a year, add 'em up
When I fly to exotic places
My jet will be a lear
I'll need several secretaries
Just to jot down notes
I'll wear gucci loafers
And expensive shirts
And blue, executive, exotic coats

Chorus:
'cause i, I said I wanna be a boss
(I wanna be, I wanna be)
I, I said I wanna be a boss
And I'll have people workin' under me
And this lousy job I'll toss
I, I said I wanna be a boss

Well, I'll drive in fancy cars
Well, no, maybe I'll just cruise
With a limoccand a chauffeur,
Tv, telephone, and booze
Tinted windows so the common folk
Can't see me here inside
Maybe every now and then for fun
I'll give some old coot a ride

Then maybe I'll slip him
A thousand dollar bill
Then he'll smile and shake my hand
And I'll put him in my will
I'm gonna count up all my widgets
And digits, and all my stuff
I'll make millions in a day
But it'll never be enough
Nopeccnot enough!

Chorus:
'cause i, I said I wanna be a boss
And I just wanna take a four-hour lunch
And eat a steak with a1 sauce
I, I said I wanna be a boss
And I'll buy up every stock there is
From itt to doctor ross
I, I said I wanna be a boss
(I wanna be, I wanna be)

Now if I find a product I like
I'll buy up the whole company
Shave my face, and grin and smile
And then I'll sell it on tv
And everyone will know me
I'll be more famous than howard hughes
I'll grow a long beard and watch
Ice station zebra in the nude

And grow my nails like fu-manchu
Keep a row of specimen jars
Get other people to work for meccwell
Maybe I'll buy the planet mars, and
Build an amusement park up there
Better than old walt's place
You'll have to be a millionaire to go
We'll smoke cigars and lounge in lace
Talk the talk of businessmen
And bosses that we are
So here's to meccthe drinks are freecc
'cause I just bought this bar

Yeah yeah, I wanna be a boss
I wanna be a boss, boss, boss!
Some kinda intergalactic boss!
