Political Respect

How can I respect you when I listen to your mouth You are the north end of a horse that is facing south Your lies and lack of ethics make the bad taste linger I can’t give you the hand, but I’ll give you the finger Your disdain for your constituents continually shows If honesty was dynamite, you couldn’t blow your nose I count my blessings each and everyday You are not one of them, sorry to say If I had the power, do you know what I’d do Put a fence around congress, the world’s largest zoo Incompetence is rewarded with low interest loans While companies suffer and the worker bemoans You tell all the people that you’ll do the best that you can But your owners won’t let you work for the common man You have no sense of leadership, all you do is talk When it’s time to take a stand, that’s when you take a walk If you think this is disrespectful you haven’t got a clue I’ll show some respect when you do what you’re paid to do.
