Autocracy Christmas Carol (1)


Autocracy, autocracy,
And Donald’s office trumpery.
Autocracy, autocracy,
Dementia driven fantasy.
As prices rise, he’s blaming Joe,
Though tariffs cost a lot of dough.
Autocracy, autocracy,
Now sprinkle in theocracy.

Theocracy, theocracy,
Professed religiosity.
Theocracy, theocracy,
The cradle of hypocrisy.
It’s clear that money is their god;
Theocracies all nurture fraud.
Theocracy, theocracy,
Facilitates plutocracy

Plutocracy, plutocracy,
Gives power to the wealthy.
Plutocracy, plutocracy,
Where bribery’s not stealthy.
It’s wealth that counts when keeping score;
The goal is simply to get more.
Plutocracy, plutocracy,
For poor folks, quite unhealthy.

Autocracy, plutocracy,
Usurp the people’s power.
Democracy, democracy,
Is this your final hour?
It’s clear that Donald would be king.
From MAGA voices, praises ring.
Democracy, democracy,
The gath’ring storm clouds lour.(2)

Tannenbaum, about the evergreen fir tree, which had nothing to do
with Christmas. Modern lyrics were written in the nineteenth century.
