HEGSETH

What shall we do with the drunken “soldier”,
What shall we do with the drunken “soldier”,
What shall we do with the drunken “soldier”,
Early in the morning?
Put him in charge of the Pentagon,
Put him in charge of the Pentagon,
Put him in charge of the Pentagon,
And blow up the whole world.


Tony's YouTube reading of "Hegseth"


Tony confesses: "The military’s pumped-up fire-breathing dragon, gung-ho Hegseth, brainless head of the Pentagon and War Sec, is all for initiating Armageddon. Macho man says the rules of engagement are woke. The man’s a joke."
