KEN STARR
(To the tune of "Bright Star," from the A.D. album
Reconstructions
(Reconstructed))
We were minding our own business 'mid the waning century
When our TV screens were filled with the face of Ms. Lewinsky
Though the crisis is long ended, and its memory fading fast
There is yet one central player who's still living in the past
Ken Starr -- still trying
Ken Starr -- to put ol' Bill away
Ken Starr -- still trying
As you're fading from the headlines now,
The world can say, "Hey, Ken, pack it in."
Now your practice hangs suspended, with your energy misplaced
As we go on with our own lives, we can see no greater waste
Ken Starr -- still trying
Ken Starr -- to put ol' Bill away
Ken Starr -- still trying
As you're fading from the headlines now,
The world can say, "Hey, Ken, pack it in."
No tears for your plight; two wrongs make no right --
Quixote's unreachable Starr
Berate Bill once more; four years of Al Gore
Is what you'll give us; please believe us:
We want to hear no more
Ken Starr -- still trying
Ken Starr -- to put ol' Bill away
Ken Starr -- still trying
As you're fading from the headlines now,
The world can say, "Hey, Ken, pack it in."
