Upright and Not Inscrutable

Upright and Not Inscrutable By Franklin Price 9/20/2015 Upright and not inscrutable Always Constitutional Never running for an office just for me Looking out for my constituents In your best interests are my intents However else would you think that I could be Always standing for you here I am For you my finger's in the dam Making sure that it will never ever burst Certifying that the laws we make Will never your found freedom take My responsibility is always to you first Do I detect a hint of doubt That some of you have found me out Think that I am egotistically involved That I will follow party first Although for you could be the worst Re-election is my goal I am resolved I now seek a higher post So you may raise your glass and toast That I could be the highest in the land Find I cannot get there at all This you may find will bring a pall Without the rich and things that they demand Should not be me that you despise For getting wool pulled o'er your eyes It's the nature of the modern politic If I could get there another way Would still have your back first today That the rich control us really makes me sick
