How many voters know how many in Congress Have sworn their allegiance to the unscrupulous Grover, Promising never to raise any taxes Or close any loopholes he wants covered over? He says their closing would amount to new taxes On corporations or groups he lobbies for Through his own tax-exempt corporation, The one through which Abramoff ran his spoils of war. Jack went to prison. He lacked Grover's influence Over members of Congress who'd signed The Pledge That's giving this lobbyist crony of Abramoff's And all of his donors an unscrupulous edge: Can't cut corn subsidies to produce ethanol Can't cut oil subsidies or big oil won't drill Can't stop subsidizing Karzai Brothers corruption And our own Four Star Generals' license to kill And drag out Afghanistan to keep their jobs. That way the military-industrial complex Leaches and lobbyists like Grover Norquist Can profiteer while D.C. genuflects. To Grover Norquist and the Congress he owns, Those cuts all equate to the raising of taxes. How long will it be until somebody dares to Make sure this idiocy wanes and not waxes?
