PARODIES

 THE GOSPEL OF TEXAS

(YOU MUST COME IN AT THE DOOR)

Oh, some migrants go by water and some migrants go by land

But I'll tell you, my friends, if you wanna get to Texas, well, you gotta go hand in hand

As Abbott told the people by his letter of decree

He said, "here is the door that leads to Texas and you must come in by me"

[Chorus]

(The wire is) so low you can't walk under it

So High, you can't climb over it

So wide, you'll never get around it

You must come in at the door

You may talk about it brother, just as much as you please

You can talk to the Lord about it when you're down on your knees

But Abbott is not a liar and he don't wear no hypocrite shoes

So if you don't watch your step brother, he'll slip the cuffs right on you

[Chorus]

(The wire is) so low you can't walk under it

So High, you can't climb over it

So wide, you'll never get around it

You must come in at the door

Don't let the wrong side fool you brothers cause you'll find out

When your time comes to cross, your sins are gonna lock you out

You might pretend to be an angel but we won't believe a word

You've got to learn to separate yourself from the herd

[Chorus]

(The wire is) so low you can't walk under it

So High, you can't climb over it

So wide, you'll never get around it

You must come in at the door

I'll tell ya now brothers and sisters lookin' for a way

You can watch the fools drowning in the river and know that ain't the way

And you can try the same as the others by slippin in, in the dark

But you'll soon find out, that way ain't no picnic in the park

[Chorus]

(The wire is) so low you can't walk under it

So High, you can't climb over it

So wide, you'll never get around it

You must come in at the door

The grass is always greener on the other side, or so it always seems

But let me tell you brother, that's only true in someone else's dreams

If you want what someone else has more than you want your life

You don't deserve what God has in mind for you, but you can have Lott's wife.

[Chorus]

(The wire is) so low you can't walk under it

So High, you can't climb over it

So wide, you'll never get around it

You must come in at the door

The Fox Went Out

Well, Fox News went out on voting night
And they lied to make us think they're right
For they'd many a folk to fool that night
Before they reached the dawn-o, dawn-o, dawn-o
Many a folk to fool that night before they reached the dawn-o

They lied 'till they came to a big roadblock
The voting machines were not to blame
Fox knew it but spewed it solid as a rock
Hoping for a new dawn-o, dawn-o, dawn-o
Fox knew it but spewed it hoping for a new dawn-o

Well, Fox and Dominion have duked it out long enough
Now they've settled the case out of court
And if you think that case was rough
Just listen to the numbers ring-o, ring-o, ring-o.
And if you think the case was rough, just listen to the numbers ring-o

Now the lie has been debunked and truth is told
Fox knew it all along but couldn't let their ratings drop
Dominion got the last laugh as the story is told
Three quarters of a Billion bucks-o, bucks-o, bucks-o
Dominion got the last laugh for three quarters of a Billion bucks-o.

Do Re Mi (Dominion)


Fox News they, say, has been lyin' to us everyday
Beatin' it into our brains givin' us their corporate mind
Makin up the news the way it suits them best is what they do
They think they're foolin' everyone but here is what they'll find

Now the judge in the court room said
Settle out of my court and keep it hid

Oh, if you don't pay the Dominion boys, don't pay the Dominion
Why, you better go back to your old broadcast school
Or get a career where the truth is told

Broadcasting is a license to steal boys, but not a license to cheat or to lie
But believe it or not, you won't find it so hot
If you don't pay the Dominion

Now if you want to show cartoons all day that can't do nobody harm
Or take your news off the air, morning noon and night
Just swap your old mic for a broom and clean up when you leave the room
You better take this little tip from me

'Cause I've seen the You Tube News every day
But the headlines on the papers always say

If you don't pay the Dominion boys, don't pay the Dominion
Why, you better go back to your old broadcast school
Or get a career where the truth is told

Broadcasting is a license to steal boys, but not a license to cheat or to lie
But believe it or not, you won't find it so hot
If you don't pay the Dominion
