Thought of a couple of lines from two different Country artists, from years ago. I like both sets of lyrics not because they come across as 'funny' or 'silly', but because both Country artists were known for their ability to tell a story via song. Remember Tom T. Hall and Johnny Paycheck? I was never a big fan of either of them, but both of them wrote certain songs that sort of dealt with hypocrisy (as a human condition).
"Buffalo Chips is all it means to me," from Faster Horses (Tom T. Hall). And... "That one stained glass window coulda fed that whino's family for years," from The Outlaw's Prayer (Johnny Paycheck).

The practice of decency, the protection of freedom, and the promotion of liberty for all. With no exceptions. That takes a lot of work done on multiple job sites, every single day. And you can call each of them a battle for truth, justice and the American way,” — Tom Hanks.   |
