Remy, Reason’s resident free-market Weird Al, has a new video blasting the Obama administration on its nonchalant attitude toward scandal.
Set to the catchy tune of “Shake It Off” by Taylor Swift, Remy goes through everything from Fast and Furious and Benghazi to the Veteran’s Administration and the NSA eavesdropping on all domestic communication.
The lyrics, complete with links to each scandal, courtesy of Reason, are:
They say you’re tapping all the phones
They say you use too many drones
That’s what people say, Mm-mm
That’s what people say, Mm-mm
They say you gave the cartels guns
That terrorists ain’t on the run
That’s what people say
and they got groped at TSA
But I keep trying
Can’t stop won’t stop lying
It’s like we’re just denying
the reality saying it’s gonna be alright
Because the vets are gonna wait
and the hard drives gonna break
baby we’re just gonna shake
shake it off, shake it off
When things don’t go away
we’re gonna blame it on a tape
baby we’re just gonna shake
shake it off, shake it off
They say that nothing is secure
That you don’t know the cure
I assure you that ain’t right
this dude just came in with a knife
See we keep trying
Can’t stop won’t stop lying
It’s like we’re just denying
the reality saying it’s gonna be alright
Cuz the vets are gonna wait
and the hard drives gonna break
baby we’re just gonna shake
shake it off, shake it off
Your emails are getting saved
and your junk is on display
baby we’re just gonna shake
shake it off, shake it off
AP phone records we take
our opponents gonna pay
baby we’re just gonna shake
shake it off, shake it off
Laws we’re gonna break
concern we’re gonna fake
then it’s off to a fundraiser to
shake it off, shake it off
