Anonymous Smears

Liner Notes
#acousticonetake #satire
I wrote this title down a few weeks ago while listening to the confirmation hearing for our new Secretary of Defense. When he was asked to respond to all of the heinous accusations, he just kept saying "Anonymous Smears" It was so frequent it became funny, and absurd, and ultimately Sad... As bad as he came off, it didn't hurt him. He's our man for 4 more years... 😬
Lyrics
I didn’t do it, he claimed again and again
these people don’t know me, these women or men
never said I was perfect, never said I was a saint
I have been a sinner, but I’ve had no complaints
Refrain:
Anonymous Smears, is all that they are
Anonymous Smears, I wasn’t at that bar
Anonymous Smears, I was never there
That guy in the photos has way different hair
That recording was altered, I never said that
That photo was shopped, that’s not my hat
The video you showed, is just a deep fake
you guys are good, you take the cake
I cannot be responsible, for my evil twin
he gets around town, its not me its him
He uses my name and my cards all the time
doesn’t care if he ruins this career of mine
Refrain
It’s a conspiracy, meant to take me down
your twisting my words, make me look like a clown
I can do that myself, I got a good woman
you cant hurt me now , I am an old white man

Well written topical satire can be tricky - this works very well.
Well done T!
