The Burgoo Boys - The Ballad Of Elon

We're not surprised at all that the The Burgoo Boys would eventually have a political commentary song to go with their social commentary ones.  And there's much about the inclusion of Elon Musk in government to comment on. He's been somewhat out of the news since the big blow up with President Trump, but we can expect that he'll be back.  It looks like he enjoyed being in the limelight. Maybe he no longer will be satisfied to direct his attention to electric cars and rocket ships alone, but return for more to say. And when he does, somebody will probably write a song about that as well!   

 

 

There was a man from a foreign land 

Who had an ass full of money 

He took a stand, and he had a plan 

To rescue our great country 

 

 Bought a spot in the administration 

 $300 million he paid out 

To a man convicted and conflicted 

And helped the criminal win out 

 

So he got free rein with a chain saw

 And cut all the waste, fraud that he saw

 But one area that he didn’t react 

Where he had a government contract 

 

 The beauty was that he wasn’t elected 

And answered to only one man 

He ran rough shod over many 

All across this sprawling land 

 

Who in their right mind could think 

That a man from South Africa 

With beliefs in authority 

Would be good for America? 

 

We saw him jump and leap about 

Buzzed up on drugs that made him flout 

No emotional intelligence 

Lacking in due diligence 

 

He had to quit the government

 When Tesla went in the crapper 

And rocket ships for outer space 

Blew up and parts that scatter 

 

Then he threw a big hissy fit 

About the great beautiful turd 

Said it increases the deficit 

And told his ex boss all the word

 

 In a fight that was to beheld 

Two men calling names and yelled 

Elon could no way come out best

 Ended up shittin' in his nest 

 

Once he held a place of respect 

Now Elon inhabits limbo 

With the village idiot 

Calling him a bimbo! 

 

Elon has seen he has done wrong 

He’s tried and tried to kiss the ring 

But the Dumpster has wrote him off 

So Elon can’t kiss anything 

 

But with zero empathy 

With morals like an alley cat

 People can finally see 

And an ego big and fat 

 

Stick to your goddam rocket ships 

Done damage to most everyone 

With ideas of cutting cost 

And Dump is the guy that has won! 

 

 There was a man from a foreign land... 

Who had an ass full of money... 

He took a stand, and he had a plan... 

To rescue our great country
