The goalposts, they are a-movin'

As sung by Fox News, with (abject) apologies to Bob Dylan...

Come gather 'round Russians
And North Koreans
And all of our enemies
We love on Fox Friends
And accept it that soon
There was no collusion.
If your truth to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start runnin’
Or you'll be left alone
For the goalposts they are a-movin'.

Come writers and pundits
Who ‘fake news’ with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
For more payments again
And don't speak too soon
Huckabee’s still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That she's namin'.
For the loser now
Used to be he who would win
For the goalposts they are a-movin’.

Come senators, congressmen
Republicans all
Abandon all principles
If you had them at all
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a Donald outside
And he is tweetin'.
And what was outrageous
Is now normalized
For the goalposts they are a-movin'.

Come you Fox News viewers
Throughout the land
And don't be thinkin’
We will do that for you
Your sons and your daughters
Belong to us too
Your old thoughts are
Rapidly agin'.
Please follow the new ones
We will give them to you
For the goalposts they are a-movin'.

The rats squeaking now
Will abandon their ship
The true fixer now
Will later be flipped
And Hannity now
Will later be past
His story is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first line now
Will later be last
For the goalposts they are a-movin’.
