The Great Success again has now returned
Although some reinforcements wouldn’t hurt
The lives of thousands it has wrecked and burned
Yet still its praises he will blindly blurt
The facts of failure we refuse to face
To mask them he will wave the bloody shirt
Our shameless leaders bask in their disgrace
With sophistry and slogans on their smiles
Our doubts about their wisdom they displace
With woeful waffling wrought with wicked wiles
They bathe in money from their crony friends
And then misplace the records and their files
“Forgetting” where it starts and where it ends
Amnesia saves corruption from amends
