Surely the best that money can buy –
   the dollar has fallen again.
Control of a very large piece of the pie –
   How much? Maybe five or six yen.

The majority party is fronting a party
   to celebrate one party rule.
If you're going to want any more dirty pool favors,
   add your millions to their dirty pool.

Mel Gibson will floss as he's nailed to the cross.
   It's gonna be one swell affair.
Just a smidgen of wine – that's the Bush party line –
   and a night of vicarious prayer.

So how will they blow forty million or more
   on a program as righteous as that?
The same way they blew Clinton's surplus in four:
   incompetence, right off the bat!
