"BLUE TIDE - Parody of Sleigh Ride" The Parody Project



BLUE TIDE

We’ve got a Congress coming to fix the plumbing in blue.
It will be well worth noting just how their voting will skew.
This Congress has new faces with creeds and races anew
that were not bought or paid for, as a masquerade for the few.

There’s some old Democrats that prefer the way the game has been played.
They’re trying to preserve their grand charade.
But the new Democrats need to take control
and they’re on a roll.They’re moving ahead it’ll spread.
They intend to achieve their goal.

We made the earth our toilet and tried to spoil it, it’s true.
Now it’s become apparent our ways were inherently skewed.
And the progressive leaning is toward the Green New Deal.
A plan to save the planet that’s strong as granite and real.

And the House of Representatives forever changed
when the 2018 midterms came and rearranged
the priorities of the congress and the power structure too,
with the new progressives redefining Blue.

We have wondered far from what we claimed we were.
“All created equal” was a faded blur.
We must bring it all into focus and do that without delay
before it all disappears just a whip of smoke that fades away.

No one who works full time should ever live in poverty.
Everyone must have an equal opportunity to succeed.
And no one should be penalized for their race or their creed.
We must give help to people who have desperate need.

No one should be allowed special privileges,
because of their wealth.
Wealth never made a head out of an ass.
Money can’t instill any character or lend any class.
We’ve never seen better proof than the president’s bold trespass.

The Green New Deal encompasses every one of these themes.
Providing jobs and dignity hope of reaching one’s dreams.
It is investment in our most treasured resource of all:
the people of this planet are where all the focus must fall.

We’ve got a Congress coming to fix the plumbing in blue.
It will be well worth noting just how their voting will skew.
This Congress has new faces with creeds and races anew,
that were not bought and paid for, a masquerade for the few.

They work for us now!
