That's the Way They Like It

Here's another new poem. How are Jay Leno's new poems coming along? How are Ellen Degeneres's new poems? How are Tina Fey's new poems? I worked all my life and I don't have a cent And that's the way they like it I'm lucky if I can afford my rent And that's the way they like it My songs made them millions, my laughs made them more But I disagreed with their method of war The truth they destroyed will take years to restore And that's the way they like it I look back on sorrow from sharing my works And that's the way they like it But fond recollections for song stealing jerks And that's the way they like it The happiest parties that ever were thrown Glorified creeps for invading my home And they think there is nothing for which to atone Because that's the way they like it Not very much for an artist to eat And that's the way they like it Plenty for liars who kiss Satan's feet And that's the way they like it My love fed an army for over three years As false accusations assaulted my ears And now my survival's their greatest of fears And that's the way they like it I've no faith in people, only in God And that's the way they like it This civilization is hopelessly flawed And that's the way they like it They could not outwit me, they lost the debate So they ruined my life-work to make them feel great They can't seem to love but they know how to hate And that's the way they like it
