Lift up your eyes and see
You are correct to deeply fear.
Worse than all history
It’s gonna be a bad year.
The GOP has changed DC,
Now it stands for Demented Congressmen.
Federal Secretaries can barely spell!
It will take decades to fix this again.
Hide in your house and pray
Ignoring all the threatening signs.
Pay no attention to the news,
Everything will turn out just fine.
Who needs their civil rights?
Just pay your taxes and be quiet.
No one in Washington
Hears your opinion, they don’t buy it.
The whole show is bribes, so
If you’re a multi billionaire
And pay the right people,
Some one in Congress will care.
Remember the actual rules,
The important thing in politics
Is stay in office for life
Even if they have to use tricks.
Being a statesman today
Doesn’t mean a thing any more
Because the voters
Don’t really care to keep score.
They raise lots of handy cash
And buy the most successful publicist
Then they have the people
Crushed in their grubby little fists.
