He's so unhappy, what will he do? He needs more somebodys to privatize, who'll Applaud as he barks up the wrong tree So if you hear him starting to cry, Social Security's why. All by himself he touts Wall Street All by himself in the fight. Prudential Funds runs a few puny ads That tend to get lost among those ads for abs. All by himself on the hustings With a plan that he pulled off the shelf, But, like a bad joke that will always get a cold shoulder, It sinks like boulder, And should have been kept to himself. * The Washington Post - 4/18/05 Mike Allen - "Hastert Doubtful on Social Security Bill"
