The battle hymn of the tea party republic
A couple of teaheads wrote a song for Sarah Palin, sung to the tune of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQwvkVlhCAU

Here's my response:

The Battle Hymn of the tea party republic

Mine eyes have seen the gory of the coming of the fools
Their pitchforks and their torches, and they’re all just corporate tools
Fighting for the richest ones, let them make all the rules
Their ignorance marches on....

(chorus)
Glory, glory halleluiah, the tea party is here to fool ya
paid for by the Kochs, and they’re just all a joke
their ignorance marches on....

I see them in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps
Dick Armey paid their bus fare, funded by their corporate champs
They memorize his talking point until it foams and rants
Their ignorance marches on....

Glory, glory halleluiah, the tea party is here to fool ya
paid for by the Kochs, and they’re just all a joke
their ignorance marches on....

The lobbyists have set them loose, the ignorance of the hoard
Palin, Beck and Hannity all get their room and board
Laughing their way to the bank, so wealthy and adored
Their ignorance marches on....

Glory, glory halleluiah, the tea party is here to fool ya
paid for by the Kochs, and they’re just all a joke
their ignorance marches on....

They say slash the spending and the government’s guarantee
But keep hands off their Medicare and social security
It seems they like their funding more than they can really see
Their ignorance marches on...

Glory, glory halleluiah, the tea party is here to fool ya
paid for by the Kochs, and they’re just all a joke
their ignorance marches on....
