Rogues Killed Khashoggi (To the Tune of “I Shot the Sheriff”)
By Laurie Baron
Rogues killed Khashoggi, but you know it was an accident.
Rogues killed Khashoggi, when he became intransigent.
Fifteen were sent to interrogate.
But he resisted and things escalate.
It did not go as required.
All of a sudden he had expired.
I’m MBS and I say:
Rogues killed Khashoggi, but they swear it was in self-defense.
Rogues killed Khashoggi, they refer to him in the past tense.
He criticized and broke the law.
That’s why they brought a bone saw.
They knew he was a US resident.
We’ll return his parts after dismemberment.
I’m MBS and I say:
Rogues killed Khashoggi, but you know it was an accident.
We buy your weapons, and the silence of your President.
