"Me And Mr Monroe" and "Democracy"

Me And Mr Monroe

You wonder where next.
Gaza, or Greenland,
just follow the gas
it’s being said.
 
But Monroe and me say Mexico.
Don-roe and they say Mexico.
Gaza and Greenland
are just chips in the deal.
You can bet your bottom dollar,
it’s Mexico, say Monroe and me.
 
And then it’s the time of Don-roe and they
All doors open, north and south.
Canada, Columbia, Cuba,
we can only wait
and see.

 


 

Democracy

Hey, we’ve got a new government!
(though Belgium managed with out any
for nearly two years).
Some of us elected them.
We can all listen to their speeches
and see their photos now.
What an opportunity
this presents!
 
Hey, we’ve got a new government!
(though Belgium managed without any
for nearly two years).
They have a large majority.
What an opportunity
this presents!
 
Hey, we’ve got a new government!
(though Belgium managed without any
for nearly two years).
They only have a small majority
and won’t be able to change
much
but
we can listen to their speeches
and see their photos still.
 
Hey, we’ve got a government!
though Belgium did manage without any
for nearly two years.
