"What's In It for Us?"

(Federal and state politicians)

"We get to make laws that benefit us,
And we get paid to do so.
We don't sufffer in silence. We make a fuss.
We even get paid to say no.

"We may look it, but we're not just bumps on a log
We can get our voices heard.
Share the same views as Murdoch, that toady old frog,
And dig the spin we've incurred."

Don't folks want to know that Greg Ball packs a gun?
Why ban laws that let the word out?
"Do we act like we don't know what the Hell we've just spun?
Like Lindsey Graham who thinks he has the clout

"To dictate to POTUS who should be running Defense,
Like his second cousin who's descended from Robert E. Lee?"
Let him stick his know-nothing grin in front of a Glock
And we'll see…
