I'M Sitting Here On Capitol Hill

I'm Sitting Here on Capitol Hill
By Franklin Price
7/15/2015

I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill,
this job was heaven sent.
Have passed no laws in quite awhile,
think I'll run for president

Haven't done my job it's way too tough,
at the public's beck and call
They don't know what they're asking,
we on the hill must do it all

I can no longer stand it,
should move on, be higher still,
move my family to the White House,
can get the money think I will.

Wait, I better rethink this!
Maybe I thought too recklessly.
If I'm sitting in the White House,
they will blame this all on me.
