The world is changing faster
Than the changes I recall
So much so I’ve concluded
That it hasn’t changed at all
The feelings now expressed
By every plutocrat and minion
Reflect what’s always been
The clear majority opinion
Nobody cheered inflation
Or censorship of words
Or wanted wheezy windmills
Killing whales and birds
We didn’t vote for lawfare
Or insects making meat
Or seeing soldiers fleeing in
Disorderly retreat
There’s always been consensus
Expressed from town to town
If spy balloons come floating by
They ought to be shot down
The goal should be equality
In every institution
The courts should be for justice
And not for retribution
And while we love the planet
The green deal was a scheme
Title IX is crystal clear
And nine months is extreme
You say there’ve been great changes
And I say, “Friend, not really”
Most people who believe these things
Are now just speaking freely
