Το πρώτο το είχαμε δει το 2017, στην πρώτη θητεία του TACO (και κάπου εδώ μέσα πρέπει να υπάρχει, αλλά τρέχα γύρευε):
Confounds the Science Video - Art Garfunkel played by Don Caron; Paul Simon played by Linda Gower.
Hello darkness my old friend.
It’s time for him to tweet again,
but first he’ll have to check in with fox news
‘cause that’s the only place he gets his clues.
That’s how things get planted in his brain,
where they remain,
and it confounds the science.
The problem is he’s not alone.
He tweets to people on his phone
that global warming is a giant hoax
perpetuated by the liberal folks,
and he hires people that all think the same,
that play his game
and it confounds the science.
When he talks to crowds of four
he sees ten thousand maybe more,
believing they all think he’s god on earth
and was the product of a virgin birth
and if you disagree you’re the victim of fake news
or feminist shrews
and it confounds the science.
“Fools,” says he, “you do not know
it makes me smart from so much dough.
I know exactly where the problems are.”
But his solutions are beyond bizarre
‘cause his words never quite a sentence make
and thus he spake
and it confounds the science.
No limits on pollution now.
There’s not a thing we don’t allow.
Dump the garbage in the waterway.
Spray the toxins where your children play.
All the signs say that life on the planet is headed for a downward fall.
Go to the mall,
and continue to confound the science.
Αλλά δεν είχα πάρει είδηση ότι ο ίδιος έβγαλε και δεύτερο, έναν χρόνο μετά:
We know darkness will descend
Precisely as the signs portend
When all but three percent of scientists say
we should have taken action yesterday
a collision of corporate greed against the earth
our social dearth
and it confounds the science.
There’s air pollution overload
from life in fossil fuel mode
And while solutions are within our sight
We’re doing nothing to avoid the plight
A catastrophe like we’ve never seen before
stands at the door
and it confounds the science
Extermination of the bee
where once ten thousand now there’s three
they’re disappearing at a rapid clip
“I don’t use honey,” all the morons quip
We should remind ourselves that without bees there’s no food
and we’ll be screwed
and it confounds the science
Our cancer rates are through the roof
as to the cause there’s never proof
the chemicals that we spray on our food
and other toxins that we’ve gladly chewed
the consequences of our choices we minimize
yet supersize
and we confound the science
And the people bowed and prayed
to the money god they made
While the earth is flashing its warning
about disaster that we are forming
We argue back and forth over meaningless issues that we fabricate
till it’s too late
and even then it confounds the science.
και τρίτο, το 2020:
ALL WAS IN COMPLIANCE (Confounds the Science Version 3) Post-Election Sing-Along
It was election time again.
We all said let the games begin.
But this time things got very creepy
and not from Russian stories of peepee.
It was the followers of the president again.
We will explain
‘cause it confounds the science.
It was a most unusual course,
pandemic issues at the source.
Millions of ballots would be cast by mail
and most Republicans thought that would fail.
Eighty percent of them voted on election day
to fear allay,
shifting the vote-count science.
So now the votes were in two files;
Day-of, and ballot-mail-in piles.
The first was red, the second one was blue.
It was obvious what that count would do.
On election night it would appear 45 had won,
then be undone
once all was in compliance.
And so his people hit the streets
convinced the world was full of cheats.
In Arizona they yelled “Count the Vote.”
In Philly “Stop the Count” is what they wrote.
With the irony of their transparent hypocrisy
for all to see
and it confounds the science.
And then the president went nuts,
proclaiming scores of if-and-buts.
“Election count was rife with fraud,” he said.
(Except for states in which he was ahead).
The lack of logic exceeded by lying to all, boldface.
It’s a disgrace
and it confounds the science.
It’s been a very long four years.
Incessant yapping in our ears
The endless lies from him and all his group
We didn’t realize how low they’d stoop.
But finally now we’ll have a day without his voice
and we’ll rejoice
within the sounds of silence.
Sing to a day without his voice
when we’ll rejoice
within the sounds of silence.
