YOU CAN'T DO THAT

​A blues lamenting the unbelievable 
stupidity of those who should know better 
 
You can finance great films like Pulp Fiction
Trainspotting and Shakespeare in Love
But you can't force yourself onto women
Just because you feel so far above
Hey, Harvey Weinstein
You don't have to be Einstein
To know that you can't do that!

From a start as a young stand-up comic
You went on to win the Mark Twain prize
But your guilt of aggravated indecent assault
Has damned you in most peoples’ eyes
Hey Bill Cosby
How could you possibly
Not know that you can’t do that!

You may be an outstanding actor
Star of Beyond the Sea
But you can't touch up strangers and grope them
FFS you’re a KBE!
Hey, Kevin Spacey
You've got to be crazy
Not to know that you can't do that!
 
You can lie and cheat to be POTUS
You can marry that young wannabee
But you can't boast about grabbing pussy
It demeans the presidency
Hey, Donald Trump
You must be a chump
If you don't know you can't do that!
 
You can rant on about Independence
And trumpet the need to be ‘free’
But you can’t host a chatshow for Putin
Who despises democracy
Hey, Alec Salmond
Are you dazzled by Mammon?
You should know that you can't do that!
