Pocket Change
Pocket Change
Extra Extra read all about it
How many senators and/or congressman can you name
How many faces do you recognize in the tabloids
and don't you wonder how much their paid
by the lobbiest
I'd say
this should be public information
right in front of our face
maybe it is what do I know
but I'd say they've got it made
our tax money probably little more
than their jingly little pocket change
but who really knows
except those playing the game
and who could recognize them
they could be standing right next to us
in the grocery store check out lane
does anybody but me wonder
how they can escape great fame
they rule the world
along side the fall guys
set up to take the blames
and they all laugh at us
probably because we are noting more
than their jingly little pocket change
