Let Me See If I Have This Right
Let Me See if I Have This Right
Let me see if I have this right
And it’s not just an oversight
Ukraine buys its energy
From Russia cause it has to be
Russia gets most revenue
From selling gas to you-know-who
Because the two now disagree
Russia raised its price you see
But Ukraine is almost broke
And can’t afford to heat its folk
If they buy the Russian gas
Bankruptcy will be there fast
Russia too is almost broke
And what comes next is not a joke
Obama wants to help Ukraine
Warm their folks, relieve their pain
One billion bucks he wants to send
To bring this crisis to an end
Who ends up with the billion bucks
Russia and that really sucks
I guess we just paid Putin’s bill
For annexing Crimea – Still
I wonder if his gas was raised
Because he knew Obama pays
If this is true, the man is smart
He had our number from the start
He held a conference, trucked some troops
Considered us all nincompoops
So in the end he won this round
I wonder where this country’s bound
