Putin’s Blues

I’ve got those dirty, lowdown, war in Ukraine blues.

You have to be aware of it; it’s all over the news.

I tried to make their government a deal it can’t refuse.

So far, it hasn’t worked, and all I’ve got’s this lousy truce.

 

Obama’s crowd is dead to me; I won’t try to pretend.

Things just might be better there;  Trump claims to be my friend.

You know his skin is really thin;  he’s easy to offend.

It’s hard to tell just where this goes and how the story ends.

 

I’ve got the blues.

The low oil price blues.

Denied I did the hacking

For which I’ve been accused.

The times are getting dangerous

As far as I can see.

Sometimes I think I’m winning

But nobody likes me.
