- From Leslie Fish's long out-of-print album Firestorm. No claims to ownership are made or implied, all rights belong to their original owners.
According to Ms Fish herself you can get Firestorm from Random Factors Inc., care of Mary Creasey on Facebook. There's also lesliefish.com , her personal website that I somehow forgot about when I first posted these.

Lyrics:
What do we do for our freedom, oh, what do we do for our corn?
For Big Boss Jones an' 'is bully boys came here last Sunday morn.
He marched right into the village square an' grabbed everybody in sight
An' made a big speech about how he'd come to set this country right.
He said that he'd come to save us all from livin' in anarchy.
He'd give us a government an' laws again, the way it used to be.
He swore he'd make this country great like it was before the war,
And all that he wanted was half our crops like taxes was before.
When he was finished, he took his boys and went to the meetin' hall
An' chased out everybody left inside and moved in one and all.
So we strolled over to the teacher's house and held town meetin' there
To talk 'bout what we were gonna do, just how and when and where.
Early next mornin' the old folks come, all smilin' to beat the band.
They told Boss Jones they were glad he's here, 'n they're proud to shake his hand.
They fawned on him an' his bully boys an' flattered 'em left an' right
An' promised a big feast in their honor in the meetin' hall that night.
That evenin' everyone in town showed up, all bringin' the food an' beer.
Boss Jones, he sat at the head of the table, and all his boys sat near.
Oh, they ate 'n drank 'n bragged no end 'bout what they were gonna do
While they scarfed up rhododendron honey and amanita stew.
Now, we'd been careful o' what we ate, so we didn't take no harm,
But the Boss an' 'is bully boys all keeled over while the coffee still was warm.
We dragged 'em down to the old mine shaft that was dug before the war
An' dropped 'em down there with all the others who'd tried that trick before.
Yes, we remember the world that was and the way that it used to be,
And we'd just rather be left alone; we're used to bein' free.
Don't want no more of laws or bosses, don't want no government here.
I hope they don't come again too soon ... they've tried three times this year

...make this country great like it was before.... OH MY F-IN GOD.
I was not prepared for that.
The MAGA slogan was first used by Ronald Reagan in 1980. This album was released in 1989. It's likely Leslie Fish was referencing exactly that.
Oh i love this song
got a Clancy bros feel, makes me wanna build a still :)
I used to find stories like this much more enjoyable when I was younger....
@Leslie Fish true...very very true....just like we are now....wish I was closer....I am thinking it is time to bunker up with good people and watch what is getting ready to happen.
@@arthurspearman7914 a very wise person once sang about "black powder and alcohol"
@Leslie Fish um I'm not sure if that's actually you or just somebody using the name I want you to know that you were a major influence on me and I know how to play a whole bunch of songs on ukulele now thanks to you. I even write my own filk and play it for my friends! You're an icon and a filk legend and i hope you're doing well in the apocalypse 💜
@@pennyisdreadful it was Leslie Fish. And yes, I know the song and others from her. She is currently in Arizona I believe.
@@pennyisdreadful and don't forget your blue bread mold
