Let Me See If I Have This Right

Let Me See if I Have This Right Let me see if I have this right And it’s not just an oversight Ukraine buys its energy From Russia cause it has to be Russia gets most revenue From selling gas to you-know-who Because the two now disagree Russia raised its price you see But Ukraine is almost broke And can’t afford to heat its folk If they buy the Russian gas Bankruptcy will be there fast Russia too is almost broke And what comes next is not a joke Obama wants to help Ukraine Warm their folks, relieve their pain One billion bucks he wants to send To bring this crisis to an end Who ends up with the billion bucks Russia and that really sucks I guess we just paid Putin’s bill For annexing Crimea – Still I wonder if his gas was raised Because he knew Obama pays If this is true, the man is smart He had our number from the start He held a conference, trucked some troops Considered us all nincompoops So in the end he won this round I wonder where this country’s bound
