Parody lyrics to Home on the Range by Joseph Dalaker
When the order is illegal, disobey (Disobey!)
When the order is illegal, disobey
(Disobey!)
When the order is illegal
Don’t just be a pliant beagle
When the order is illegal, disobey!
(Disobey!)
When the boss is unelected, disobey
(Disobey!)
When the boss is unelected, disobey
(Disobey!)
When the boss is unelected
And says your job’s unprotected
Tell him his cars are defective.
Disobey!
(Disobey!)
If the Muskrat RIFs* your people, disobey
(Disobey!)
If the Muskrat RIFs your people, disobey
(Disobey!)
If retire you don’t wanna
Tell him “Go back home to Tshwane”**
If the Muskrat RIFs your people, disobey!
(Disobey!)
When the crook says “stop the payments” disobey.
(Disobey!)
When the crook says “stop the payments” disobey.
(Disobey!)
When the crook says “stop the payments”
Think of all his lawsuit claimants
When the crook says “stop the payments” disobey
(Disobey!)
When he says to whitewash hist’ry disobey
(Disobey!)
When he says to whitewash hist’ry disobey
(Disobey!)
It’s no wonder, it’s no myst’ry,
Everyone’s a part of hist’ry
If you love both Truth and Country disobey!
(Disobey!)
If the orders say to censor, disobey.
(Disobey)
If the orders say to censor, disobey (disobey)
If you say you love your freedom
Don’t ban books, instead just read ’em
Or you always could just leave ’em. Disobey!
(Disobey!)
If your orders are to kidnap, disobey (Disobey)
If your orders are to kidnap, disobey (Disobey)
Speech and assembly give us freedom
So protect ’em—we all need ’em
Donny uses goons to cheat ’em. Disobey!
(Disobey!)
If you believe his lies no longer, disobey
(Disobey)
If you believe his lies no longer disobey
(Disobey)
Don’t engage in insurrection
Just cause he can’t get erections
The Constitution needs protection. Disobey!
(Disobey!)
If they say you’re out of order, disobey. (Disobey!)
If they say you’re out of order, disobey. (Disobey!)
If they say you’re out of order,
Then just what were you elected for?
So make your voice like thunder. Disobey!
(Disobey!)
