sing it Stan (even though I think you're dead)

Some Stan Rogers lyrics which are speaking to me right now:

And you, to whom adversity has dealt the final blow
With smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go
Turn to, and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain
And like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again.

From The Mary Ellen Carter (it's a ship, it sank, hell just listen to the song).

The smiling, lying bastards, they're there every time I turn on the TV. And thanks to 59 million of my derranged countrymen, they will be for four more years. To quote another song (Country Joe and the Fish this time) Whoopee, we're all gonna die!
