have a tv.

“Come women and men who hashtag Me Too, and believe me when I say that we believe you. For weak is the man who calls truth ‘fake news.’ Time’s up, our silence we’re breaking,” he sings

Come gather round people wherever you roam
And admit that our country don’t feel like our home
And that silence speaks louder than those who condone
If a tweet to you is worth favin’
Then lift up your voices and put down your phones
For the times they are a-changin’

Come women and men who hashtag Me Too
And believe me when I say that we believe you
For weak is the man who calls truth “fake news”

Time’s up, our silence we’re breaking
And even though Mel Gibson was in Daddy’s Home 2
Well the times they are a-changin’

Come athletes with platforms throughout the land
Who by taking a knee are taking a stand
And before you shout out that they should be banned
Listen to what they are saying
Perhaps they’d stand up if you reached out your hand
Well the times they are a-changing

Come journalists, writers who report the facts
And brandish your pen to fend off his attacks
Look past what he says and look at how he acts
The fire and fury is raging
For his words can hurt, but your words can fight back
New York Times, they aren’t a-failin’

Come leaders who bully like Internet trolls
We’ll curse you with four-letter words ‘love’ and ‘hope’
For we will go high even when you go low
The order is re-arranging
For you have the power, but we have the vote
The times they are a-changin’

So now he's attacking trump more. But I'm glad he's become more political. He told Terri Gross on a Fresh Air interview several months ago that he wouldn't. I'm glad he changed his mind.

..according to Hollywood Reporter, that is. I'm not sure how much is missing. (Jimmy mumbled more than the man himself!)

Come women, men who hashtag #MeToo/
and believe me when I say that we believe you/
for weak is the man who calls truth 'fake news'/
Time's Up, our silence we're breaking."

"Come athletes with platforms throughout the land/
who by taking a knee are taking a stand/
and before you shout out, 'they should be banned'/
listen to what they are saying/
perhaps they'd stand up if you reached out your hand/

well, the times they are a changin'."

"Come journalists, writers, who report the facts/
and brandish your pen and fend off his attacks /
look past what he says and look how he acts/
the 'fire and fury' is raging/
for his words can hurt but your words can fight back/
the New York Times, they aren't a failin'."

I figured the printed lyrics would be out there somewhere.....I wonder if Jimmy wrote them. He's a very talented guy.

Might've misheard though.

It's great stuff , he pretty much nails the Dylan impersonation ... but he's always been REALLY good at that sort of thing going back to his SNL tryout video. He's like the Frank Caliendo of musical impressions and quite a talented musical performer in general.
