Joe Barton's Bluster And Blunders
(No more light bulbs for Barton and Texas)

Must we have building codes to protect us in earthquakes?
Must we buy car insurance because of car crashes?
Must we buy health insurance in case someone gets sick?
Must all regulations be something Joe bashes?

Who needs an incandescent bulb standard?
Screw in the bulb and see what we get.
Let's hope enough light for our children to read by
And that shopping for light bulbs isn't Russian roulette.

But Joe Barton from Texas is against light bulb standards.
With less education in Texas, who reads after dark?
And who but Joe Barton could make less education
And the need for more drilling his personal trademark?

Will it matter if your vehicle's insured for mayhem?
Will it matter if anyone's covered for whiplash?
Will it matter if you have all contingencies covered?
Not if you're a Koch Boy who settles for cash.

So who needs the death penalty as much as Joe Barton?
Isn't he the same nutjob who told BP he's sorry?
Without that particular Texas deterrent
Joe Barton could be the Oil Mafia's quarry.
