Vicious

I believe ALL “evidence” is “contradictory”
It CAN’T be “accurate” if it is NOT believed by ME
It does NOT matter if ALL others believe it is “true”
If I say it is NOT it’s NOT NO matter what say you
And that is why today I say MY friend the Saudi Prince
Did NOT say “silence Khashoggi” after, before, or since.

The Saudis are Tremendous Friends who create MANY Jobs
Their oil keeps trucks hauling food and coal and steel and logs
We must NEVER offend them or they will turn off their pumps
Despite the way they play us like oil-dependent chumps
So even if the Prince DID say what the CIA said
Their oil trumps ANY FAKE NEWS “reporter” who got dead.

We live in such a vicious world no wonder there’s turmoil
But that does NOT mean we should cut off our main source of oil
I am trying the best I can to tone the violence down
But I still need to keep a friendly Prince or two around
As long as Oil equals PROFIT for King Industry
ALL Princes who kill “reporters” WILL get away scot-free.
