Firstly, I'm sorry for yet another low effort musical offering, my entire house has contracted coronavirus and we are all stuck at home together feeling like complete ass.
That said, this song is a satirical look at how meme culture undermines any serious discourse even when there is a very real need for mature and informed conversations to be had.
Haha. Just kidding. Dicks out for Harambe.
lyrics
Six years ago the world went kinda shit
Mango Mussolini, then that fucking Brexit
Shock ruled across the land, nothing went at all to plan
Man, in 2016, shit really hit the fan
We lost Bowie, we lost Prince,
Alan Rickman too
The mere memory makes me wince
What the hell are we gon’ do, but
Dicks out, dicks out for Harambe
Ain’t no one got to Heaven since Harambe
Zika and fake news, we got the post truth era blues
‘Cause some numb nut zookeeper shot poor Harambe
So many things went off the rails that year
Two weeks in and shit really went into high gear
Things steadily got worse, filling Rupert Murdoch’s purse
What the fucking is hap’ning, some ancient Mayan curse?
Keith Emerson and Cohen
Muhammad Ali too
Can’t see where this is goin’
But these memes are tried and true, so
Dicks out, dicks out for Harambe
Ain’t no one got to Heaven since Harambe
Zika and fake news, we got the post truth era blues
‘Cause some numb nut zookeeper shot poor Harambe
The way things went it is a crying shame
Nakatomi plaza will never be the same
Heaven got a killer band, Presidents spray tanned
Ain’t really surprising, it’s totally on brand
They took my man Gene Wilder
Carrie Fisher too
If 2016 had an ass it’d be spitting out my shoe
Dicks out, dicks out for Harambe
Ain’t no one got to Heaven since Harambe
Zika and fake news, we got the post truth era blues
‘Cause some numb nut zookeeper shot poor Harambe
