In the Dead of Night

Like a vampire wakes in the darkness 
so awakens the old GOP
For they hunger to feed on the taxes 
then like rodents, they scatter and flee 

They ignore and avoid all their voters 
who can never provide what they need
Like the donors who send them the dollars 
satisfying their hunger and greed

So they slashed all the life-saving programs
like a horror show bloody with gore 
And as long as the People pay taxes
their desire will always be more
