LYRICS:
Sir, we're gonna take these funds for the old town road
We're gonna buy a ton of black asphalt
Right, we're gonna take these funds for the old town road
We're gonna pave and also fix potholes
Or we could take these funds for the old town road
And maybe build a brand new stadium
Sir it's our entire job to fix the old town road
We must ensure that —is he even listening? I'm thinking no.
This is so exciting
Look, the roof is shiny
So touched by this project
I named it Joe Biden
Sir, this is dismaying
Taxpayers are paying
Studies show these never create economic growth—
La la la la la la can't hear what you're saying
Can't nobody tell me nothing
You can't tell him nothing…
Can't nobody tell me nothing
You can't tell him nothing…
The roads are all unstable
We should fix them if we're able
How broken are we talking?
Think month-old iPhone cable
We should not be subsidizing
A billion-dollar guy that
Will subsequently leverage moving
Look, our mascot has a trident!
Can't nobody tell me nothing
You can't tell him nothing…
Can't nobody tell me nothing
You can't tell him nothing…
Sir, the neighborhood's complaining
Eminent domain it
Toll road, gas tax
Let's call it a day then
Can't nobody tell me nothing
You can't tell him nothing…
Can't nobody tell me nothing
You can't tell him nothing…

Not his best work- I think largely because the song is too slow, and has too many repeating hooks to get a good set of lines in. Affluenflammation on the other hand was golden.
Yeah, this one is a stinker. Terrible song that I never heard before doesn't help.
Want to piss off a progressive?
Make fun of their asinine beliefs.
Ain't nothing so much as annoys me as gubment spending hunnas of dolla on token feelgood signaling boondoggle bullshit when the most basic and fundamental infrastructure is FUBAR.
It is almost as if you were talking about my city!
