For centuries
Through history
All these unsolved mysteries
I’ll tell you all about him but you will never see
The Amazing Mr. Misery
When all things are going well
And we hear the crier ring the bell
Whatever news there is to tell
He feeds the greedy need for hell
Sending rats into the street
Trading men like slabs of meat
Burning blimps and sinking fleets
He is a cold blooded killer
And he’s gonna beat the heat
With coffers full of gold
And coffins full of men
Since the days of old
He’s ruled us with his pen
Like turning mud into a brick
He transforms the well to sick
And somewhere in his secret stash
Is profit from the market crash
He will embrace technology
But if his monopoly is affected negatively
He will buy up all the patents see
And you and I will never see or experience the possibilities
So he keeps us all in the dark
While slowly building his own ark
And though he is the one who brought the flood
He will sail away on a see of blood
Slash and burning down the forest
Preying upon the poorest
We scream and he ignores us
If we stand, well then, he floors us
We cant think straight because he detours us
By declaring war on us, for us
I shall not overstate it
I don’t want to end up medicated
Or permanently sedated
Or even worse eradicated
With all proof of my existence faded
But you’ve got to deal with that danger see
When you are aware of Mr. Misery
