It's Springtime & Maggie Is Dead

As much as you mofo's in the UK are celebrating The Grand Dame's demise, it means jack shit to me. Guess what- in the Olympics of asshole rulers of the free world (1980-2013 division), she doesn't even win the bronze.

Here in the States alone we've had Reagan and Dubya. You're guyz have had Blair. Maggie ain't squeezin' into that triad.

So she invaded an island full of Penguins? Hell, at least she didn't go toe to toe with the Russkies or an entire religion!

Besides, think of all the great songs that you woulda missed out on!!!!!!

All The Young...

Billy rapped all night 'bout his suicide
How he'd kick it in the head when he was 25
Speed jive, don't wanna stay alive when you're 25

And Wendy's stealing clothes from unlocked cars
And Freddy's got spots from ripping off stars from his face
Funky little boat race

The television man is crazy
Saying we're juvenile delinquent wrecks
Man I need a TV when I've got T. Rex

Hey brother you guessed I'm a dude

All the young dudes
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes
Carry the news

Now Jimmy's looking sweet though he dresses like a queen
He can kick like a mule
It's a real mean team
But we can love
Oh yes, we can love

And my brother's back at home
With his Beatles and his Stones
We never got if off on that revolution stuff
What a drag
Too many snags

Well I drunk a lot of wine
And I'm feeling fine
Gonna race some cat to bed
Is this concrete all around
Or is it in my head

Oh brother you guessed I'm a dude

All the young dudes
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes
Carry the news
