It wasn’t log ago in our history We had Presidents we could see And seeing them didn’t make us puke Or think of dying from an incoming nuke. Recently our country was a symbol Of freedom and hope for the planet. Now too many people hear America And, red in the face, say “******!”
The crooks hide behind The Capitol Hill wall. What the people want Is nothing to them at all.
Two, four, six, eight! Who shall we eliminate? Those who fill their own pockets greedily; And always kiss the *** of Big Corporate, While they cheat and steal and lie constantly We know how much each Congressman makes We know it’s too much, but certainly not millions. So come come they get so **** rich in office And can magically turn thousands into billions?
We know something has gone badly wrong But decade after decade we just ignore it. The facts are out there for our scorecards If we would only sit and simply score it. Yes, we know they keep moving the posts And change how we must play the game. But if we let them cheat us and rob us Holding a gun to our heads is almost the same.

It seems like some think this is Old England And we have our own impervious royalty. Well, there is only so far this should go And rightly call it by the name of loyalty. After a point we are just being dunces Who bend over and beg them to kick us again. Anyone else who did that would anger us. But that’s what happens when we listen to spin.
