Humpty Dumpty's Sad Demise
Humpty Dumpty sang on "The Wall"
With John, George, Ringo, and
Paul.
But the CIA and FBI
Rubbed that Humpty out, poor
guy!
His speech was subversive,
his thoughts were obscene;
Our children would never stay
healthy and clean!
So they came in their shades,
wingtips and suits
And made H. Dumpty go "ker-sploot!"
They cleaned up the mess, the
washed off the walk,
And when came the press, they
started to balk.
"It's all a matter, can't you
see,
of protecting our National
Security.
We won't say nothin'. You can't
make us talk.
So kindly ignore that outline
in chalk."
But one man persisted, and
finally broke through,
And discovered the feds had
conned me and you.
He found out who all had committed
the crime:
Half of the government should
be doing time!
But he disappeared. They took
him away
and put him somewhere cold,
dark and grey.
Lobotomized now, he stares
into space,
And leaves us the ones with
yolk on our face.
