This is not a love song.
This is my church.
This is not America.
This is not your country.
This is not my beautiful house!
That's entertainment.
That's what friends are for.
That's no way to say goodbye.
That's the way it is.
That's why they call it the blues.
This is the last time.
This is the end.

There is no cabal.
Blues is the teacher, funk is the preacher.

...I've noticed just by watching other people,
As they're talking to each other.
Since this party started I've been feeling kinda lonely
Like a fish out of cold water in a glass of Coca-Cola.

thinking of that piece of schmaltz by Burt Bacharach and Carole
Bayer Sager. Urgh.)

We're always eager to extend a friendly claw,

'This Is Not A Love Song' by Public Image Limited. Or a number of
different songs with the same title by other artists.

'This Is Not America' David Bowie and the Pat Metheney Group
> This is not my beautiful house!
'Once In A Lifetime' Talking Heads

'That's Entertainment', The Jam

Could be the incredibly schmaltzy song by Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight,
and two others I can't remember, from 1985. But probably not.
> That's the way it is.
'That's The Way It Is', Bruce Hornsby and the Range

'I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues' Elton John
And now an addition of my own in the same style...
This is the future we deserve.
Ten points to anyone getting that... :-)
