PIDDLER ON THE ROOF
.
.
He piddles here
He piddles there
When he piddles, inhabitants of the Earth better beware
Is it so hard to ask for a man to be of class?
To the Piddler On the Roof, his core is crass
Piddler, oh Piddler, we all are screwed!
Piddler, oh Piddler, why do you do what you do?
He moans and howls of how there are no connections to the bear
But, around every corner the sounds of coins and linkage are heard
Not some grand conspiracy it has to be
Just coincidence of business ties that bind the Piddler On the Roof to the neighborhood of the Black Sea
Piddler On The Roof keeps parroting that there is no proof
He must think we’re fools and we’re all goofs
If we all were asked right in this moment where we get our pay, I bet we all could answer that question without delay
Yet, for Piddler On The Roof, he avoids that question and turns reality to sway
I’m a rich man he boasts, again and again and again
But, as the truth is exposed bit by bit, it proves he’s gotta bow to those who butters his toast
His affinity for strongmen is known near and far
But, if you ask to see his tax returns, he’ll tell ya’ that’s going a bit too far
His allegiance to business is damningly raw
Just ignore that tale of the bone saw
Maybe the royal one had it done
Or, maybe some rogue element went off the script
Either way, Piddler On The Roof has gotta defend the ties that bind
If you ask him about morality, he’ll say that’s a bore and a grind
Howling at the moon from the roof of the house of white, he piddles with delight
He cares not of what others think
But, he should, for the hunt for justice is on the brink
A man of stature and focus is on your tainted trail
Better wise up, Piddler, ‘cuz your phony act is about to fail
That yearning of yours to keep up appearances is swirling swiftly down the drain
Uncorked!
Unplugged!
Unhinged!
Bought & Sold!
