AOC (What a Beautiful World) (to the tune of “I.G.Y. (What a Beautiful World)” by Donald Fagen)
Sandy’s tough on the Stars and Stripes
She can tell
This dream’s in sight
You’ve got to admit it
At this point in time it’s unclear
If the future looks bright
High-speed trains, all gaslight and glitter
Under a sea of red
Ninety minutes from New York to Paris
Well, by private jet, if you’re A.O.C.
What a beautiful world this should be
What a laborious time to be free
Get your ticket to free meals and safe space
Like last time
The fix is in
You’ll be a witness to that same old dance in disguise
You know we’ve got to win
Here at home we’ll pay for a city
Powered by the sun
Perfect weather, and a dreamlike world
There’ll be expanded taxes, one for everyone
What a beautiful world this should be
What a laborious time to be free
High-speed trains, all gaslight and glitter
Under a sea of red
Ninety minutes from New York to Paris
(More leisure time for artists everywhere)
A just machine to make big decisions
Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision
We’ll be clean when their work is done
We’ll be eternally free yes and eternally young
What a beautiful world this should be
What a laborious time to be free
