Mockingbird might work, but it looks to be still copyright.
Got something good? I’m releasing the lyrics Creative Commons, no attribution required nor requested.
Use any way you wish, modify. I do prefer that the resultant work be Creative Commons, for unencumbered use by protestors.

In the key of F-U

The FAFO blues

I ran into some poison oak
I really thought that I would croak
But I don’t need to scratch that itch
The money’s needed by the rich.

Without my heart pills, I’m so slow
I’ve lost my get up and my go
But I can manage comatose
If it richens Jeff Bezos.

The doc prescribed me boner pills
That gave my partner awesome thrills
But no one needs a splendid truck
I’d rather lower tax on Zuck,

My business just went up in smoke.
But FEMA tells me that they’re broke
Now I work from dawn to dusk
So we can give a break to Musk
