"Subsidizing" The Congress
(Directly or indirectly?)

Where will the money to pay Orrin Hatch come from
If tax breaks for Big Oil should ever expire?
How un-American if foreign oil companies
Found our "legislators" were no longer for hire.

Aren't we as corrupt as a dictatorship?
Don't we let Koch money determine the scores?
Look how our Supreme Court has said it's OK
To keep John names as secret as Congressional whores'.

Why does Big Oil need any "standard deductions"
As incentives to drill for what's ours till we let them?
Aren't they making enough by doubling gas prices?
It's the prices of Congressmen we should condemn.

Theirs and the lobbyist networks they're funding.
The media won't fight it. They're getting theirs, too.
And who pays the price in gas and in batteries?
Folks stranded at home with TV clickers like you.

Still we pay The Congress to fly home ev'ry weekend,
Or stay in DC to woo chicks on their staffs.
Why is it that after Big Oil helps us elect them,
So many, like Ensign and Gingrich, just do it for laughs?
