(Sung by Indiana Governor Mike Pence)
(Apologies to Leonard Cohen)
There are fewer folks that side
side with my intentions
and I'm nothing
but the spirit
of my measures anymore.
The boycotts
the boycotts
have crossed the threshold
and I have overwritten
the words with words
to Band-Aid
this discrimination hole.
When they said "Fuck Pence"
"Fuck Pence"
"Fuck Pence"
I wonder what they meant?
