(So You Wanna) Be Like Putin

One of my faults is that I have a low tolerance for dumba$$ery. So when a few of our public figures in the United States praised and admired Putin, I had to write a song. (I am sure this is to no one's surprise.)

On a side note: My grandmother emigrated from the Vohynia (sp?) region of Ukraine (might have been part of Russia then) to the U.S. in 1914. I still have cousins in the Ukraine. The last I heard is that they were able to flee out of Kiev to safety about a couple weeks ago.

Way off balance with no checks
Dangerous lack of intellect
Everyone is watching your train wreck

So you wanna be like Putin
You’re thinking you’re the final solution
We’re waiting for your execution

Streams of whores and golden showers
Megalomaniac man of the hour
Craving all that absolute power

So you wanna be like Putin
You’re thinking you’re the final solution
We’re waiting for your execution

Pasha, Caligula, Pinochet,
Tomás de Torquemada,
Be Kim Jong-un today

So you wanna be like Putin
You’re thinking you’re the final solution
We’re waiting for your execution
