For more than a year now - We’ve told you
poll after poll
Not to report about sex - That was going on
in the capitol
You ignored all our requests - Saying, "The
people demand to know
A small minority was interested - Maybe to intellectually
grow!!
Each headline you screamed - Like a Carnival
Barker in pain
It’s not really news - And the language
isn’t plain
Do you know what you’re doing - With the
new standards you’ve set
You play to the negative - And it’s the
negative, we’ll all get!!
And what was the crime - Manufactured by the
press
Asking questions quite private - To something
no one would confess
You’ve set the standards quite high - Or
actually, maybe quite low
Should one try to remain private - Or run a
dog and pony show!!
What would Edward R. say - About the press of
today
Who dwell on the negative - With nothing else
to say
You set the national tone - With the gossip
that you spread
Edward R. must just watch - Slowly shaking his
head!!
"But he’s a public person - The people
need to know"
What happened to the kindness - That more of
us used to show
"But he’s the President - And he told
us all a lie"
Trying to answer a question - That most would
not dignify!!
Some of those who threw the stones - Learned
fast about aspersions cast
They ended up apologizing - For mistakes out
of their past
Racing with you the journalist - To go public
with their facts
Facing the public humility - And confessing
to the acts!!
If what you were doing was good - The world
should be a better place
But as I look around -It really doesn’t
seem to be the case
A minority thrives on the negative - High officials
in agony
You feed them Starr’s leaks - Which they
gobble up with glee!!
And poor, poor Monica - Who no longer needs
a last name
The unwitting pawn of revenge - Will never live
down the fame
And should the President resign - I shout a
resounding "NO"
We have a strong, humble leader - Who after
this fight, will grow!!
