The King vs. The Wizard

With kudos and apologies to lyricist and composer Scott Davis, as interpreted by Big E, himself:

As the rumors fly…

On a cold and gray Indiana morn’
An angry little demagogue is born
In the Grotto.
And his mama cries.
‘cause if there’s one thing that she don’t plead to
It’s another simple mind that she's got to read to
In the Grotto.

People, don’t you understand
The child is a boy named Dan
And he’ll grow to be an angry councilman some day.
Take a look at you and me,
Are we too blind to see,
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way.

Well the world turns
And an angry man Dan with a chip on his shoulder
Jangles bathroom keys to make him feel bolder
In the Grotto.

And his anger burns
So he starts to bully everyone in sight
And he learns how to lie, throwing mud each night
About matters even he really knows are slight
In the Grotto.

Then one night in desperation
He brings on board a little congregation
He builds straw men, he hatches plots,
Takes advantage of all those who are have-nots
And his mama cries.

As a light exposes an angry councilman in
Stopping anything he don’t have his hand in
In the Grotto.

He fired his shot with the tools at hand
Looking out for his spot as the man named Dan
From the Grotto

And his mama cries.

Now is the time for integrity and leadership from our City Council. Members should identify themselves as being part of the conspiracy to defame Mrs. Garry, or should speak out loudly to condemn this abuse. That includes you, Mr. Coffey. If this is your doing, take responsibility for it. If not, then condemn it as the gutlessness it is on its face.
