They want you to believe The unbelievable They say you should accept The unacceptable Forget your common sense It isn't sensible Good times for fools and dreamers
Watch 'em all deny The undeniable See how they refute The unrefutable They're ready to defend The indefensible High times for lawyer schemers
They say we must forgive The forgivable They want us to respect The unrespectable The pious and the hip So hypocritical High crimes and misdemeanors
Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop
See how they explain The inexplicable Watch 'em debate The undebatable Apparently a lie Is never liable Prime time for talk show screamers
They say we constitute The Constitutional With justice here for all So justifiable I'm tryin' not to laugh But man it's laughable High crimes and misdemeanors
Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop
And so Today we find They've changed their minds They've switched their points of view
Oh what tangled webs they weave When their beliefs ain't really What they believe
They're trying to divide The indivisible Because they think we're fools So foolable I'm tryin' not to laugh But man it's laughable Boom times for Wall Street dreamers They want you to believe The unbelievable They say we should accept The unacceptable The pious and the hip So hypocritical High crimes and misdemeanors
High crimes and misdemeanors High crimes and misdemeanors
