Dumping Jack Flash

Dumping Jack Flash
it's a gas gas gas
one minute a prince
the next nothing but an ***

it feels so good
to have the feeling of a thump
upside his head
as he's tossed into the dump

pick himself up
and brush off the dirt
get right back in line
don't even button up his shirt

you see he's been here before
in case you didn't know
like Pillsbury
all rolled up in dough

thrown in the oven
stuck with a fork
you know when he's ready
when he begins to bark

his eyes swollen red
headed for a crash
like old Major Frank
in an episode of Mash

was eating tasty morsels
now gone in a flash
understands the reasons
but he's run out of stash

can't cop a buzz
completely out of cash
find the whiskey bottle
make his own bash

he thought he was someone
but apparently just trash
so easily tossed
dumping Jack Flash

it's a gas gas gas

a twist on the old Stones tune Jumping Jack Flash
