Elvis ruined Western Civilization
Eisenhower a RepublicanTried to help his fellow manSure he made a few mistakesSeveral faux pas up for debateBut with taxes on the richWe paid our dues without a hitch But I believe the cracks appearedIn the later Hollywood yearsJailhouse Rock was the culpritAnd listen as I preach from my pulpitDinner party with sparkling debateAnd Elvis there with mouth agapeTalking about Brubeck and atonal jazzHe couldn’t grasp the rooms buzz : "Lady, I don't know what the hell you talking about," he stammersSwearing in 1957 quite a shockerAll he had to do is say please educate meNot storm off like an angry wasp or bee Now we seem to be anti intellectualAnd our grandchildren IQ so ineffectualMetamorphosis to Kid GalahadPunching good , thinking bad So thank you Elvis from your perch in GracelandYou gave approval for Teens to be blandIf you had made a movie about rocket scienceThe Bobby socks would have swooned in compliance
