High Crimes and Misdemeanors (Hip Hop-Cracy)

This song by Styx is one I only recently came across, and today I took the time to look up the lyrics. I find them rather clever, and the song is definitely one I'll be returning to frequently!

I find particularly enjoyable the plays on words (believe the unbelievable) and the chorus, which only makes sense if you hear it: "Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop". Sung, it sounds like "hip hop hypocrisy hip hop".

Lyrics:

They want you to believe
The unbelievable
They say you should accept
The unacceptable
Forget your common sense
It isn't sensible
Good times for fools and dreamers

Watch 'em all deny
The undeniable
See how they refute
The unrefutable
They're ready to defend
The indefensible
High times for lawyer schemers

They say we must forgive
The forgivable
They want us to respect
The unrespectable
The pious and the hip
So hypocritical
High crimes and misdemeanors

(x3) Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop

See how they explain
The inexplicable
Watch 'em debate
The undebatable
Apparently a lie
Is never liable
Prime time for talk show screamers

They say we constitute
The Constitutional
With justice here for all
So justifiable
I'm tryin' not to laugh
But man it's laughable
High crimes and misdemeanors

(x5) Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop

And so
Today we find
They've changed their minds
They've switched their points of view

Oh what tangled webs they weave
When their beliefs ain't really
What they believe

They're trying to divide
The indivisible
Because they think we're fools
So foolable
I'm tryin' not to laugh
But man it's laughable
Boom times for Wall Street dreamers
They want you to believe
The unbelievable
They say we should accept
The unacceptable
The pious and the hip
So hypocritical
(x3) High crimes and misdemeanors

(x3) Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop
