lyrics

I don't need no conversation
this tycoon is doing fine
I'm gallivanting through the pages
deeper into F. Scott's mind

tell me a story, better yet explain the genius of an allegory
help me recover my ideals
the enemy among us
is even closer than we feared

history may repeat itself
but I've scarcely watched a remake that I liked
I sure hope that sticky bandit
is more like Nixon than the Reich

will this crisis be forgotten
like a hundred years before?
will you be disappointed
should the twenties fail to roar?
