Barricades Built for Two

(tune of Bicycle Built for Two)

 

[Fun fact for non-local readers - Baker is St. Petersburg's mayor, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sembler Co.]

 

Baker, Baker,

Give me an answer do?

I think we should own the sidewalk

I paid you to think to think that too

I’m sick of the protestors

The kids and all the beggars

But they’ll look sweet

Standing in defeat

Behind barricades built for two

 

Sembler, Sembler

I couldn’t agree with you more

You spent our tax money

Better than we’ve done before

I know that the law’s against me

But I’ve got tricks a-plenty

We’ll take public space

And give them a taste

Of a barricade built for two

 

St. Pete, St. Pete

Come on and lend a hand

This sidewalk belongs to

Every citizen

If we let Greg Sembler take it

Free speech will never make it

If the fight’s not won

We’ll be having fun

Behind barricades built for one
