By Simon, Garfunkel, and Comrade Otis

Rachael Corry

They say that Rachael Corry fought injustice in this town,
with political connections she spread herself around.
Sworn into righteous piety, the Left's love-child with a smile
She had everything an activist could want: power, youth and guile.

But I live in the Left's factory
And I curse the life I'm living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be,
Rachael Corry.

The papers print her picture almost everywhere I see:
Rachael Corry at the flag burning, Rachael Corry down on bended knee.
And the rumors of being feted at our leaders' parties on their yachts
Oh, surely our American Left-wing saviors must be happy with everything they've got!

But I live in the Left's factory
And I curse the life I'm living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be,
Yes, I wish that I could be,
Rachael Corry.

She gave freely to fight America, she had the common touch,
Our leaders are all grateful for such patronage and the photo-ops and such.
So my mind was filled with wonder when the State newspapers read:
Rachael Corry tried to stop the world last night and got bulldozed flat instead.

But I live in the Left's factory
And I curse the life I'm living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be,
Yes, I wish that I could be,
Rachael Corry.

Who?

Just a song before I go
A lesson to be learned
Sitting in Bulldozer's path
It's easy to get bermed.
