\nLiving a Lie You Gotta Wonder Why<\/strong>
\nIn grand jury testament it always shows
\nits all there on paper in black and white
\nmuch more the Special Counselor knows
\nwho said what, who was wrong, who was right
\nand when the judge and jury make a reply
\nand the judge pounds the gavel, metal or wood
\nwhen those being questioned come up with a lie
\nwhen it is then uncovered and it did no good
\ntell the truth to the questioners with your reply
\ntell them who ask further all your entangles
\ntell them all your moneyed wily wrangles
\ntell them the truth because they will catch your lie
\ntell these people the names of those who were bought
\nthose power hungry ambitious ones who all got caught .

\n\u201c\u2026fear not to touch the best; the truth shall be thy warrant. Go, since I needs must die and give the world a lie.\u201d

\nTweet no more your fountain of lies
\nwhy do you feel the need to tweet so fast
\nthe country is shocked in cyber surprise
\nmore tweets coming out many just passed
\nthe lying media\u2019s watchful phones with eyes
\ncover all your day to day twit and tweetings
\nfrivolous complaints about cabinet meetings
\nand how the FBI follows you like true spies
\nday and night egregiously equivocating
\ntodays gather of blather staff tweets regrets
\nyour fleet of lawyers all busy explicating
\nresponses with denials its as good as it gets
\ntry stopping at least for a few days or more
\ntake a break from your Sisyphean chore.
