Same Ol' Bag - Bruce V. Bracken's All-Purpose Poetry Thing

Jesse's got the same ol' bag
Full o' tricks, and full o' slag
Jesse's got the same ol' bag
He just wants you bound and gagged

I was walking past Lincoln
When I heard you preaching
Gathering your acolytes
Ready for a leeching
If not for justice and peace
For what are you reaching?
Just the same ol', same ol'...

Jesse's got the same ol' bag
Full o' tricks, and full o' slag
Jesse's got the same ol' bag
He just wants you bound and gagged

We fought Hitler's bloody dream
To see it rainbow-washed
A brother-love embezzler
Getting media gloss
What else do you have at hand
Besides your racist dross?
Just the same ol', same ol'...

Jesse's got the same ol' bag
Full o' tricks, and full o' slag
Jesse's got the same ol' bag
He just wants you bound and gagged
