SATIRE: Don’t Cry For Me Deaf Society

Here’s just one more for the road. You all know the musical EVITA, and the song Don’t Cry For Me Argentina. I give you, Don’t Cry For Me Deaf Society.

This is really easy, you’ll think it’s not
Let me try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love
After all that I’ve embezzled

You won’t believe me
All you will see is a CEO you once knew
Although I’m dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you

I had to spend the money, I had to go to Timbucktoo
Couldn’t stay all my life like a volunteer
Standing in the rain, rattling tin cans

So I chose freedom
Spending your money, Pretending it’s all for you
But it didn’t impressed you at all
I never expected it to, But it did me

[Chorus:]

Don’t cry for me Deaf Society
The truth is you were a convenience
All through my ambitions
My aims and objectives
I climbed the ladder
To keep my distance

And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired

They’re not illusions
They’re the solutions to life’s vagaries
The answer was here all the time
I love money and much more than I love you

Don’t cry for me Deaf Society
The truth is you were a convenience
All through my ambitions
My aims and objectives
I climbed the ladder
The stairway to Heaven

[chorus]

Have I revealed too much?
There’s nothing more I can think of to say to you.
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true!
