Suffer the Fool

Description
OK - I'm giving away my political inclination here - but this is my take on the last 8 years and our culpability for letting it happen. The song was inspired by and written for the Rachel Maddows Show on Air America. If you are not of the same political persuasion - please listen anyway and judge the song on its musical merit. It wasn't a serious musical project - as I tried to keep it light hearted and fun as well as sending a message. Let me know what you think. Cheers...

Lyrics
SUFFER THE FOOL


You’re a man on a mission and a mission unaccomplished, mission unaccomplished
You’re a secret assassin with a regular accomplice, regular accomplice

Shame on us, we should have made a fuss
Should have seen it coming but we missed the bus
It ain’t cool to suffer a fool
How can we conspire to let an idiot rule?

You’re a sham and a phony but you got lots of money, lots of money
You’re a gag and a joke but you’re not very funny, not very funny

Shame on us, we should have made a fuss
Should have seen it coming but we missed the bus
It ain’t cool to suffer a fool
How can we conspire to let an idiot rule?

You’re a bully and a crook with a mouth full of muck, mouth full of muck
You’re a poser and a liar and you don’t give a hoot, don’t give a hoot

Shame on us, we should have made a fuss
Should have seen it coming but we missed the bus
It ain’t cool to suffer a fool
How can we conspire to let an idiot rule?

You’ve caused a lot of pain for personal gain, personal gain
To think we suffered you, buffered you, we must be insane

Shame on us, we should have made a fuss
Should have seen it coming but we missed the bus
It ain’t cool to suffer a fool
How can we conspire to let an idiot rule?

Self-defeating
Mind retreating
Apathetic
Gonna regret it
Suffer the fool
Suffer the fool
Idiots rule

Cool track
Reminds me of Ian Dury (which is a good thing!) and I like the lyrics a lot. The bass is excellent on this - lovely sound and tone, and lovely playing throughout. Nicely done. Peace.

Sorry!
Tobin busted me on that in another song. When I did most of these songs - I didn't know which loops were overused. Lately- I've been making my own loops or not using them at all.

Enough suffering
Now that the fool in question is departed with the door hitting his arse on the way out, perhaps you could try another one of these as a spell-song to get rid of the bunch of feckless self-serving wasters we have over here, before they asset-strip this country beyond redemption ...
