Dr. F. Ouch! Part V

# DR. F-OUCH — UNDER OATH [Intro] Three questions. One record. No verdict before proof. [Verse 1] Under oath beneath the lights, one phrase was split in two: a broad “gain” the public heard, a narrower rule you used. Funding crossed an ocean wide. Who watched the work—and when? If language shields the answer, define the word again. [Pre-Chorus] No slogan is an answer. No title settles doubt. When testimony carries weight, the meaning must come out. [Chorus] On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline. I respectfully decline. I respectfully decline. [Verse 2] Midnight calls and private messages; the origin story changed. One side calls it suppression. One says evidence was weighed. Masks, six feet, and shuttered schools— the guidance moved with time. Changing facts may change the rules, but explain each changing line. [Pre-Chorus] Do not choose the ending first and force the facts to fit. Do not call suspicion proof. Do not bury questions with it. [Chorus] On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. Based upon my rights, based upon my rights— I respectfully decline. [Verse 3] “What day of the week is it?” “What color is your tie?” “What color is the carpet there?” The same words came each time. On the grants and on the emails, on the origin and review, question after question met the same refrain from you. [Break — Spoken] Pardon me? You were pardoned. Then tell the truth. Why hide behind the Fifth? [Sharp Cut-Off Vocal] F—Fuh—! Ouch! [Bridge] The Fifth may guard the witness. The Fifth does not prove blame. A pardon is not a verdict. A question is not a claim. The auditors found weakened watch, late reports and missed review. That does not prove where it began— or what you might have known. But failure is not nothing, and questions are not crimes. No office stands above the record. No title outruns time. [Final Chorus] On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. Doctor F-Ouch, answer the record— not the camera, not the crowd. A lawful right may guard your silence, but it cannot answer now. Pardon me? You were pardoned. Then tell the truth. Why hide behind the Fifth? F—Fuh—! Ouch! [Outro] Question the office. Question the claim. Evidence first— whoever bears the name.
