C2 O Grinning
Capitol Hill lawmakers
busy be sound byte spinning
Graft siphon those sawbuck bills,
so succubus sly
Cheshire cat revenue takers,
queeny crooked smile grinning
Wink the incubus eye,
and nod about
how much cheddar they gon steal
Fat cats sitting on a lounge relax
in their dark backrooms,
blowing cigar smoke rings
Marking the Treasury tax map
with grifter circles
Them Cheshire cat one tracks
love
puffing out the zeros
C2 O mirror and smoke
Disappearing cash,
tip-toeing up
the pocket chimney it goes
C2 O ash-tinted windows
Cheshire cats
ogling claws
greedily scratching fo’ mo’
C2 O taxpayer choke hold
Got a crooked, grinning clasp ...
Grifter greedy green paw grasp,
ain’t never gon smiley let go
C2 O mirror and smoke
Cheshire cat one tracks
love puffing out the zeros
C2 O ash-tinted windows
Every tax loophole ... open cash register,
they don’t ever shut close
