This Lovibond May Rowanwood song from the Rowanwood music catalogue is a satirical folk-pop cabaret piece that critiques public opinion and overconfidence through witty lyrics and playful, theatrical instrumentation.
Blah blah blah blah blah
When I read the morning paper
I see crime is on the rise
Theft assault mayhem murder —
Mass shootings no longer surprise
Governors mayors local officials
All seem lost and confused
Police running out of control
Complaints of rights abused
I know I have all the answers
I’ll teach them to do it better
I take out my ball-point pen
And write a letter to the editor
Dear Sir here is my advice
On how to solve the problem of crime:
Reform the police make our city safe
Increase tourism at the same time
Blah blah blah blah blah
With best regards I sign
When I watch the evening news
The economy is down
Inflation on the rise again
Health care can’t be found
Economists experts Wall Street moguls —
All seem to be at a loss
Advising tax breaks to the rich
Without considering the cost
I know I have all the answers
I’ll tell them how to do it better
I take out my trusty pen
And write a letter to the editor
Dear Ma’am if you listen to me
On health care the economy —
Fixing the social safety net
The answer to poverty
Blah blah blah blah blah
Respectfully I sign
This afternoon I stepped outside —
It dared rain when I wanted sun
It’s obvious God’s a bit confused
He needs my wisdom to get things done
Clearly something’s very wrong
With this extreme and odd weather
I take out my favorite pen
And write a letter to the editor
Dear Sir or Madam blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah
Dear Sir or Madam blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah
When in London Moscow Paris Berlin
In Tokyo Beijing and even Washington —
When all these leaders see my acumen
They’ll make me World Advisor
Of Everything
Blah blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah
