They Ran into Thomas Massie

To the tune of "Bridge over Troubled Water"

They're the power
Feeling tall
Pulling politicians strings
Lords over all
Having their way
Oh, for years on end
Climbers getting in line
Then they ran into Thomas Massie
Well, I will be damned
Yes, they ran into Thomas Massie
Well, I will be damned
Such cocks of the walk
Just see how they strut
And how big they do talk
Looking down on us
Selling us out
While lining up votes
With "yes" men all around
Then they ran into Thomas Massie
Well, I will be damned
Yes, they ran into Thomas Massie
Well, I will be damned
Sail on AIPAC crew, sail on by
Your time has come and gone
Along with those in your pay
It won't be long
Oh, let them try their tricks
Strong-arming everyone
But with more men like Thomas Massie
Freedom is in sight
Yes, with more men like Thomas Massie
Freedom is in sight.

One Thought to “They Ran into Thomas Massie”

  1. Dave Martin is always brilliant; but one of the most original and important pieces of writing I have ever seen is his song lyrics; “Then They Ran Into Thomas Massie.” I wish I could claim to have once met Dave Martin (and Thomas Massie).
