Easy Chair

Armchair ambassadors Lying in wait Have all the criteria For the perfect state – That Garden of Eden That Nirvana afar History just slaps them So they raise up the bar It’s so easy to solve the crisis From at home in your easy chair – Poli-sci majors And young entrepreneurs – There goes Mister Smith now – He’ll filibuster for hours He’s a man of ideals A man for all seasons Except when you challenge him – Then he can’t give no reason It’s so easy… Peaceniks and liberals Millennials and brats They’ve got it all covered Like bald men with hats From their perch on the sidelines, They sure know the score And just for the record, They’re like totally against war! It’s so easy to solve the crisis From at home in your easy chair So get on your soap-box And your pulpit of clay As if you yourself swam ‘Cross the Hudson Bay ‘Cause you missed Viet Nam And you slept thru Tibet Thank Allah for your conscience That won’t let us forget
