Manifort

Corruption is embed in America soul
Mo  money mo money the goal

The rich extract benefit from the code
IRS deduction they em bode

The court system is ripe with hypocrisy 
Five years for nickel bag Manifort given three

Steal a million with a collar of white
Get out of jail that very night

But steal a bag of potatoes to feed a family
No bail and you'll get no mercy

They voted for trump to clean the swamp
But he and his band of crooks do the dirty stomp

They cut healthcare robbed the treasury
Polluted the lake and streams cater to the hierarchy

You sit and watch as they conspire with a foreign country
Steal your vote and you cry Mother McCree 

More people in jail than any other country
Children bankrupt trying to get a degree

To me you re lower than whale 
Oh American I never thought you'd quit
