" The Age Of Obama Bliss " (sung to the tune of 5th Dimension's Aquarius... with full orchestra)

When Rue is not a total twit
And Chris is kinda nice to me
By golly Kwiko has toned it down a bit
As we now can all post so gleefully

This is the dawning of the Age of Obama Bliss, the Age of Obama Bliss, Age of Obama Bliiiiiiiss!

Harmony and understanding...yeah!
Sympathy and trust abounding...go y'all!
But why am I gettin'n an un-groovy feeling that
I'm being set up for an inevitable fall

This is the dawning of the Age of Obama Bliss,
the Age of Obama Bliss, Obama Bliss, Obaaaama Bliiiiiiiiss!

Just had a thought to do it before I left work. It'll grow on you. No slight intended by your omission. Oscar (Hammerstein) wasn't here to help me complete the other verses. A B+ is probably better than I've averaged my whole life, so I'll happily accept it. I appreciate the kindness.

DREAMTROVE


A Filk, and I didn't even make it in.

I made one earlier today, for a different group, but I'll post it here, because it's sure to offend. For those who don't know, I'm a devoted Taoist, but I read other religious texts for fun and prophets.

Sometimes there's some actual wisdom in there, and mixed in with a lot of random nonsense. Anyway, Here's a book I've read a couple times, it's called the bible, and every person who isn't living on mars already knows the tune. Oh wait, with radio broadcasts, it's reached alpha centauri.

This isn't group or firefly related, but I'll post it anyway, and christians, remember, your faith is all about forgiveness ;)


Moses came back with a bunch of jews,
Moses turned the sea to a fountain
He scrawled some words on some tablets,
Moses came down from the mountain

He said "Hey now guys, I've just heard:
I've been talking to this guy
I closed my eyes and saw the holy word
Now I know why..."

Moses came down with a list of rules,
He had a belief in transcendence.
It's time for a few small repairs he said,
Moses came down with a vengeance.

He said "Drop the gold calf and all false gods
I have to say, I might as well,
I can't be sure, but I'll play the odds
You're going to hell

[bridge]
Smash the stones and in the dark
collect the dust and build an ark
Count the words, start over clean
Write ten new rules, or seventeen
[/bridge]

Days go by we're hypnotized
Believing in just one God
Most of these rules seem so wise
And a few seem kind of odd

Walk the fine line and just don't blow it
Don't kill or take what's owned
Covet the neighbor but just don't show it
Everybody must get stoned...

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)


Sheesh, RL, I thought I *had* toned it down a bit.

I must already be blissed out. Or maybe it's the mushrooms. I can never tell...



Good ditty, though.
