Guys In Carolina Lost Their Minds

Dedicated to the current NC General Assembly and the indifferent governor of my great state.

(to James Taylor's "Carolina In My Mind")

Lost their minds, those guys in Carolina
Sad to see the right side
Has to go rip the poor kind
Guess you just need a face to grind
And hasten state’s decline
Yes, those guys in Carolina lost their minds

Women, they’re the lovely ones
They’re best locked away, with rights declinin’
Keep them down with manly thumb
Those righteous tears you're formin', fangs are hidin’
Know why?
Guys in Carolina lost their minds

I’d say there’s doubt in most folk’s minds
That voter fraud’s a frequent foul
Myth was made to make you cry
But hey guys with pants on fire, you’re lyin’
Said I
Guys in Carolina lost their minds

Lost their minds, those guys in Carolina
Seems to me the new crime
Set the clock back to old times
When wages were kind to rich old guys
No living wage supplied
Yes, those guys in Carolina lost their minds.

First amendment ain’t quite right
You think the law is wrong for faith you’re haulin’
You felt fright for law that bites
Rights are good for no man, ‘cept for your Man, your Man
Those guys in Carolina lost their minds

All the teaching folks you smother, payin’ paltry
Still you want the best ones in the schools
But you seem like they should work for free forever
Who needs to think, read?
No one does when guys in Carolina lost their minds

Lost their minds, those guys in Carolina
Guess you’d sell your own kind
Rather than grow your own spine
Raleigh has gone to Austin time
Dementia you've supplied
Yes those guys in Carolina lost their minds

Guys in Carolina lost their minds
And we’ll vote for Carolina ‘lection time
Vote for Carolina ‘lection time

Flown
They’ve flown
Filled their brains with empty
Yes they’re gone
Out there
Someone spiked their ice tea
Cos’ they’re gone
