The New Regime
Gorged on glazed ham and the metaphorical blood of the vanquished,
“You don't put the palace in a blind trust; the palace is the whole point,
And it's very photogenic.
Did I mention the marble columns seemed at one point a little dated?
So we spruced them up with gold. They're still marble, the best marble,
But now they're coated in gold.
How you like me now?” The new regime
I'll take things that are super white for two thousand, Alex.
What are golf balls? What are tiny hands? What are tiny minds?
What is pure as the driven snow? What is the new regime?
The new regime . . .
R-U-I-N the artificial warmth is thin with frostbite gin;
Did I mention your kith and kin?
Go, fight, win, here comes the blight again
A low, tight grin requires some discipline
R-U-I-N come and smite me with violence
Go, fight, win, here comes the blight again
Here comes the blight again
“How you like me now?” The new regime
Loser
Loser

Like A Magnet
Hammer square pegs through round holes.
Collect the saw dust created via the aforementioned process.
As tinder, light it to get the pillars ablaze
For the lulz, for the fucking lulz.
Call me old, but I don't like it raining frogs.
Pepe frogs and swastikas
I don't think are a very good look for anything anywhere.
And yet here we are – like a magnet.

Ain't Whistling Dixie
Here come the earthquakes.
Here come the floods.
Here comes the austerity of nowhere to hide.
Here comes the confederacy of being taken for a ride
And dropped off a cliff, or thrown overboard, whatever.
Here come the tropics and generalissimos.
Here come the goons.
It's now more southern here than ever
Cuz the South isn't geographic anymore.
Are you old enough to remember rivers catching on fire?
No? Well then, they may see to it they're cool and go viral.
I would not put that past them.
Here comes the fear of not being able to fall asleep.
Here comes the floods of anxieties.
It's now more southern here than ever
Cuz the south isn't geographic anymore.
I ain't whistling Dixie. I ain't whistling Dixie.
I ain't whistling Dixie, stranded on this garbage barge.
I ain't whistling Dixie, ablaze inside this dumpster fire.
I'm burning up and full of stink.
One of us is going to blink.
Cuz we ain't going down with the ship.
We ain't going down with the ship.
Someone's gonna throw us overboard
(we just don't know when) in a reborn Antebellum.
Here come the earthquakes.
Here come the floods.
Here comes some panic.
Here come the tropics.
Here come the goons.
It's now more southern here than ever
Cuz the south isn't geographic anymore.
