Getting Deputized

Round up the posse, get ‘em vetted Oval Office ganksterized Appoint the piggy snouts, then send ‘em out with metal sidearm power Ancient oppression done got modernized, old Egypt Memphis is new Phoenix on the rise OK the corruption, legalize the blind Corral mice Roving Jezebel eyes got sticky trigger fingers unsanitized Presidential grifter seal approved, publican tin badges skimming off the top of the public trough Bonnies & Clydes wearing white hats, got the saddlebags holding the stolen dough And it looks like they done Bernie Madoff with some mo’ Treating citizens mob gankster rude; those tax cowpokes are waving their little flag pistols, talking like tough leather throat fools Every national treasure asset is being pirate privatized Every sniveling weasel with a lizard tongue is getting Benedict deputized And truth is being sold in the stables, non-disclosure is the filly train to ride Marshaling a high plains moral drifter to come bail rescue innocent pleb gunslinger you Remember, Roman toga outlaws were duly elected judge, jury and executioner too
