CROSS PURPOSES (November 25)

(with apologies to Irving Berlin)

Oh, my father was a preacher and a gov'nor, you know
that is why I can not tell a fib
I'd rehearse every day what Trump told me to say
and then I would have to ad lib

When I did a presser I never would address a 
single one of my boss's lies 
I preached from the choir, therefore I was no a liar
Oh, I can't tell the truth from a lie
When I made a statement
it was a truth abatement
or I was be-ing wry
As a fact twister,
I was no resister
Oh, I can't tell the truth from a lie
From a lie, from a lie,
No, I can't tell the truth from a lie
Reporters I battled
and I was never rattled
facing FAKE NEWS guys
I wouldn't hear 'em
or the boss'd smear 'em
I'd let them wail in the gale
then I'd bail
Oh, I can't tell the truth from a lie

I'm cool, brave and daring
La-ne Bry-ant wearing
(although it's their smallest size)
When facts I shuffled
I never once got ruffled
Oh, I can't tell the truth from a lie
I quoted the Bible,
so it wasn't libel
Say so and you'll fry
It ain't really slanders
it's just the truth meanders
Oh, I can't tell the truth from a lie
From a lie, from a lie
No, I can't tell the truth from a lie
With Mitch McConnell
all I really wan'll
be for Ruth Bader Ginsburg t' die
then he'll annointee
another Trump appointee
a Christian darlin',
unlike Merrick Garland
Oh, I can't tell the truth from a lie

We're Trump's Christian soldiers
we're miracle beholders
Non-believers need not apply
Our final solution
a Christian Revolution
and if we fail
we will all go to jail
Oh I can't tell the truth from a lie
