Congress Goes To The Highest Bidders
Sung to the tune
"Are You Lonesome Tonight"

Are you paying too much
For unleaded and such?
Did our Congress just pass a big bill?
Was it geared to appease
With huge subsidies
The oil giants bribing The Hill?

Did they lessen dependence on imported oil,
Or worry the Saudis might think them disloyal?
How will you and I gain?
Why give Exxon free reign?
Don't you fear we'll be paying too much?

Did they learn from Brazil,
Or maintain in their bill
Sugar tariffs to slow the pursual
Of cheap sugar cane's
Carbohydrate octanes
By converting them into a fuel?

Are they waiting for SAFTA or till oil wells go dry?
Do they fear Sugar Barons might kiss Jeb good-bye?
How will you and I gain?
Why give Sugar free reign?
Don't you think we could learn from Brazil?
