I Like Being a Congressman

I like being a Congressman    

The job is mighty fine      

I only work two days a week  

Taxpayers do not whine    

I make the laws and write the checks

And help the country run

I Meet the Press & Morning Joe

And maybe shoot a gun

I get to visit ‘round  the world

And never pay a dime

Taxpayers fund my every trip

I’m smiling all the time

My staff  talk to the taxpayers

I’m too busy for that

Lobbyists need all of my time

Get money for a chat

I get to get away with lots

Emptying the coffers

The more I spend the more I get

Taking Lobby offers

I have the power of the state

I control the nation

People die without my vote

While I take a vacation

Hungry children and starving Vets

Their lives depend on me

But businesses don’t want to pay

So I just wait and see

This black man in the White House

Has really made me mad

I sit and stew and do nothing

And make my people sad

But that’s OK, Yes, that’s alright

Big business has my back

While people starve and people die

I fill my money sack

Millions of dollars I rake in

But it doesn’t help the people

Because to get elected now

I have to fool the sheeple

I spend all my time complaining

That the President is wrong

He’s trying to fix the nation

He’s trying to be strong

But that won’t do, no not at all

How dare he do his job

While Congress sits and does nothing

Stirring up a lynch mob

You see, I have the citizens

Wrapped around my fingers

I hide behind Rush, Beck, & Fox

Though the stench still lingers

I have the people where I want

Believing that I care

I smile at them and lie to them

And say, “It’s good, I swear”

And if that doesn’t work for me

I have my own goon squad

I’ll cry & pray & tell them all

That I was sent by God

You see that Christianity

Is good for politicians

God Bless America, Amen

Puts you ahead of competition

I want the sheeple dumb and poor

Uneducated’s best

The less I spend on them, you see,

The more they’ll work for less

If taxpayer’s should get upset

If they should ask for more

I’ll simply tell them we can’t help

And start another war

If taxpayers ever catch on

It still won’t hurt me, see

When I leave here I’ll have a job

Working for a Lobby

I like being a Congressman

This job, it has its perks

I lie and steal from everyone

And you’re the one who works

The Middle Class will Rise - Seuss Style

I do not like this GOP

I do not like them, no sir-ee

I do not like this Tea Party

They do not like you, you, or me

The GOP does stupid things

Like not passing anything

They do not pay their bills OH, NO

They only Hate, Hate Mr. O

The Tea Party is even worse

The hate, they lie, they scream & curse

Bigots, they claim they are not

But actions speak to us a lot

These guys are awful, yes they are

They’ll let bridges crush your car

They’d rather support the Ku Klux Klan

Than let you have a healthcare plan

They will not feed the starving poor

Would rather spend cash on a war

Fight, Fight, Fight, that is their cry

And start another with a lie

They whine and cry and run to Fox

To cover up the laws they block

Then blame it all on MR O

Because, because, they do not know. . .

The history books about this age

Will show their hatred and their rage

They tried to ruin this great nation

Because of one Black Man’s oration

Everything that helps society

Because of their proclaimed piety

While taking cash, an impropriety,

They vote with questionable sobriety

Big Business buys our Congress now

And to the Kochs, they all do bow

I will admit, in my opinion,

Each are just a Koch Bro Minion

SCOTUS works for ALEC too

They don’t even have a clue

They think citizens are obtuse

Impeachment we will introduce

Hannity, Beck, Rush, O’Reilly

They feed you BS, oh so slyly

They hate, complain, and tell you stories

Rather than Obama’s Glories

People, stand, and fight these louts

Vote and kick each one out

U.S.A. belongs to US

And they can all just take a bus

They can go to Israel,

Or they can even go to Hell

They’ve harmed this country way too much

These guys are oh, so, out of touch!

The U.S.A. was once so Great

But hasn’t been so much of late

Prisons stuffed, and children starving

GOP must be departing

All of our elected reps

When walking down those concrete steps

Some of whom belong in prison

Will learn The Middle Class has risen

The U.S.A. will rise again

Much to the GOP’s chagrin

The Right-wing fascists have no clue

WE WILL TURN THIS COUNTRY BLUE!
