Damn the Politicians

Damn the Politicians
By Franklin Price

Damn the politicians
How they lack civility
They lack cooperation
They're not there for you and me

They vote themselves big raises
Yet the less and less they work
Please post the names of any
That aren't acting like a jerk

That have our own best of interests
In the laws they try to pass
Ones that think above the shoulders
Without their heads stuck up their ass

Ones that put their parties
And the rich on level two
Who think of all constituents
In everything they do

I know this is a tall task
Could be well beyond your scope
It's likely quite impossible
Finding one that's not a dope
