Fugs Tuli Kupferberg Nobody for President

Song about how US Constitution was formed as a Big
Lie to hand the power to govern to the rich and "powerful". Only the 10% of Americans who owned property were even allowed to vote for or against
it and this property qualification lasted until 1912!
The song itself tells you where 200 years worth of continuous lying has gotten us.

Worst was a) when Supreme Court decision late 1800's voted AGAINST corporations having same rights as people thus still illegal to contribute over $100 BUT case summary made into lie by ex-prez of a rail road who wrote it - the opposite! Then the summary quoted as precedent and a LIE became precedent allowing the military industrial complex to flourish + b) OSS importing Reinhardt Gehlen & Otto Von Bolschwing (Hitler high command, killed 20 million Russians) to run Pentagon's Eastern Intel Ops

Jello Biafra did something similar: "None Of The Above" on his "I BLOW MINDS FOR A LIVING" cd, I think.
