    An impossible task, choosing a favorite. So I’ll just go with the first one that came to mind:

    Goodness Gracious, by Kevin Gilbert (RIP). It’s pretty dated, but a lot of it is still relevant today.

    Goodness Gracious is there nothing left to say?

    When the ones that get to keep looking

    Are the ones that look away

    It’s pabulum for the sleepers

    In the cult of brighter days

    Goodness Gracious at the mercy of the crooks

    We’re broke and stroking vegetables

    And there’s way too many cooks

    In every pot a pink slip, In every mouth a hook

    Goodness Gracious I’m not listening anymore

    Cause the spooks are in the White House

    And they’ve justified a war

    So wake me when they notify

    We’re gonna fight some more

    Goodness Gracious not many people care

    Concern is getting scarcer

    True compassion really rare

    I can see it on our faces. I can feel it in the air

    Goodness Gracious me

    Goodness Gracious my generation’s lost

    They burned down all our bridges

    Before we had a chance to cross

    Is it the winter of our discontent or just an early frost?

    Goodness Gracious of apathy I sing

    The baby boomers had it all and wasted everything

    Now recess is almost over

    And they won’t get off the swing

    Goodness Gracious we came in at the end

    No sex that isn’t dangerous, no money left to spend

    We’re the cleanup crew for parties

    We were too young to attend

    Goodness Gracious me

    Goodness Gracious my grandma used to say

    The world’s a scary place now

    Things were different in her day

    What horrors will be commonplace

    When my hair starts to grey?
