Making excuses With hundreds of uses All kinds of ruses To cover up abuses By venal national leaders Upscale liars and cheaters And well-armed bush-beaters Feeding the meat-eaters.
The uptight Right With its narrow eyesight Calls daytime night And loves a grudge fight So, they create enemies With deceitful homilies And live up to the parodies That leave us on our knees.
They ignore the Constitution And make new resolutions To offer no real solutions. To our national destitution. All that matters is monetary So, they bribe the constabulary; Call civil rights revolutionary And laugh at those they bury.
The point is, make no mistake These reprobates always take They never take a break. They cut nobody a break. They steal and call it rights And love it when the poor fight. And while we sleep at night They steal even the street lights.
