Is That All There Is?



I remember when I was a little boy, a drunken Kennedy drove a car off a bridge
I'll never forget the look on my father's face when he said, "He'll do 7 years hard time for that"
He knew that bridge was a hazard, but he drove on it anyway and a girl died
Then he swam away and didn't alert the cops, who might have saved her
But then, when there was no jail time and he kept his Senate seat,
I said to myself, "Is that all there is to manslaughter?"
Is that all there is?

Is that all there is?
If that's all there is my friend, then keep stockpiling
Cause there ain't no rules for them at all
If that's all .. there is

And then when I was a little older, my father told me about Lewinsky
The most ridiculous scandal ever
There was a President, the Oval Office, and a kneeling intern
Who had a pretty face and blue dress who blew the guy, "giving head"
And as I watched him lie to a Court and on TV
I had a feeling he was going to skate
I dont know why but when he got off Scot free
I said, "Is that all there is to Presidential perjury?"
Is that all there is?

Is that all there is?
If that's all there is my friend, just keep stockpiling
Cause there ain't no rules for them at all
If that's all .. there is

Then I fell for THE ONE, the most intelligent president ever
He would ask for $800 billion dollars to stimulate the economy
And he would talk for hours about all these shovel ready jobs
I so very much wanted to see employment figures rise
Then one day, he joked "I guess the jobs weren't so shovel ready after all"
I thought his Presidency would die, but it didn't
And when he got re-elected, I said
"Is that all there is to Stimulus Fraud"

Is that all there is,
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is my friend, let's keep enhanci- ....

I know what you must be saying to yourself
If that's how she thinks, what's his reaction to the Russian collusion Report?
Oh no, not me, I'm not ready to opine on that pile of pig excrement
For I knew, from the moment they released it at 5:00 PM on a Friday
When the Matthews meltdown comes and Maddow is sobbing her last sob
Everyone will be saying

Is that all there is? Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friend, from two years of harassing
Let's break out the booze and watch The Fall
If that's all there is

Comrade Callmelennie,

The nihilism of extinction is so overwhelming that Jackalopelipsky wonders have we actually achieved the glory of Next Tuesday and are now living in Wednesday. Oblivion is now real...and we're living in its splendor. If this future continues, Jackalopelipsky needs shades.

forelock tug,

There are truly no words, my energetic young Comrade in Hooliganism, in the English language or the other three other languages that I pretend to know* that can convey the depth and totality of my utter incomprehension with respect to your last comment .... but I shall treasure them as my personal lodestars to the world of Next Tuesday, nonetheless!!

Most Equal Comrade of poetic hooliganism, Jackalopelipsky's prog settings are all fouled and in need of pulling, sandpapering, and adjusted gap settings down at Jiffy-Lobo. Your most excellent lyrics engulfed me with sublime visions of existence beyond the glory of Next Tuesday. For a moment I glimpsed utopia in which Everything Meant Nothing and Nothing Meant Everything....then the whole thing cratered in a sputtering meltdown....it's this New Green Deal fuel running through a pre-catalytic converted mind. Jiffy-Lobo is first thing on Jackalopelipsky's To Do List.

Well now, young Comrade Jackalalphabet, it's good to see you finally making sense (Cue People's Rimshot)
