We Didn't Make You Higher

Lyrics by Hal Pollock

Time to sing a silly song
Everyone can sing along
Take a seat enjoy the show 
Get ready now ‘cause here we go
 
Eisenhower ‘54
Aliens were at his door 
Wanted us to stop the nukes 
Grenada Treaty with the Kooks
 
‘59 plane went down 
All the world cried 
Buddy Richie Bopper too
The day the music died
 
JFK ‘63
CIA the enemy 
Some say Dallas had to be 
Lancer letter? 
Camelot?
Who killed Kennedy?
 
‘64 Brits invade 
Beatles on TV
Bandstand Shindig
All their friends 
Quite a sight to see
 
We didn’t make you higher 
If the song’s too long
Don’t have to sing along
Standing in the fire 
I got no plans today 
And I’ve got more to say
 
Ob la di 
Ob la da 
Can you oye coma va?
C’est la vie
C’est la va 
Some will say comme ci comme ca
 
Hi de ho
La di da
Deja vu
Ooh la la 
Just a game 
You say wow 
I say Papa-Oom-Mao-Mao
 
Paul is dead 
There’s a clone
What’s the truth?
Clues are shown
Just a hoax? 
Where’s the hearse? 
Play the songs in reverse
 
Plumbers unit 
Watergate 
Someone write a book  
Woodward Bernstein 
Nixon quits 
I am not a crook
 
We didn’t make you higher 
If the song’s too long
Don’t have to sing along
Standing in the fire 
I got no plans today 
And I’ve got more to say
‘84 Olympic team
Magic no look pass 
Michael FLIES stupifies  
Gives a Master class 
Global warming 
Oceans rise 
Chernobyl fallout
In our eyes
 
Clinton lies
Testifies
Says it isn’t sex
Lewinsky cries
Dress surprise 
What will happen next?  
 
Where’s the Juice? 
On the loose
How’d he change his clothes?
Glove won’t fit
Must acquit
Everybody knows 
 
 
MJ hits 
This is it
Ghost on Larry King 
Propofol 
Off the Wall 
End of everything 
 
We didn’t make you higher 
If the song’s too long
Don’t have to sing along
Standing in the fire 
I got no plans today 
And I’ve got more to say
 
2001 
Towers fell
How ever could this be?
Fire and rain 
Too much pain
This is killing me 
 
FBI 
EPA
U_S_D_O_D
CBS
CNN
MSNBC
VCR
MTV
NKOTBAGT 
LOL
Can we just let it be?
 
Aliens come from the Earth  
Feds knew all along
What to do 
Not a clue
Uncle Sam is watching you 
 
Billy Joel 
Rock N’ Roll 
Still a Superstar 
He lit the fire that brought us here 
It ends right where we are 
 
We didn’t make you higher 
If the song’s too long
Don’t have to sing along
Standing in the fire 
I got no plans today 
And I’ve got more to say
