Congress is in Session
When I’m watching the news these days,
I just can’t help but wonder why.
When all of the stories I see,
just makes me want to scream and cry.
They all claim to be an expert,
about how everything should be.
But the only thing reported,
is hate and negativity.
I know I ain’t the smartest man,
to ever shake a wooden stick.
When it comes to the government,
it really makes me so darn sick.
True, we can’t have a perfect world,
of that I’m pretty gosh darn sure.
When our choice on election day,
is between horse or cow manure.
One side says it’ll cost a quarter,
the other wants to spend a dime.
Can’t they just meet in the middle,
and save us all this wasted time.
No one can agree on nothing,
all they can do is poke and chide.
Argue about the simplest things,
even with those on their own side.
I know it should not bother me,
and it really should not matter.
But still, I just can’t help myself,
each time it just makes me sadder.
Seems like everyone nowadays,
wants their 15 minutes of fame.
Looks like the one way to get it,
is to find someone else to blame.
