So Who Next Should
So Who Next Should
We'll take the credit while you get the blame
Seems to be the name of the same old game
And by all of the bills are sure to bounce
That is why it is you who we want to trounce.
Was only trying to be realistic and fair-handed
What you did was demanded and demanded
While it was you who let the river overflow
On dry ground we did try to get things to grow.
Our standards had been high and yours low
And much better yet everyone should know
We would be a fool to let you take control
Helping out others should be greatest goal.
Handouts take care of things temporarily
While others are in need and desperately
What successful program would we try next?
So we all won't have to up being hexed.
There can be times when we had viewed
All of the crude things that did delude
Those with arrogance harming our economy
Looking like losers who need a lobotomy.
After experience proved to be very harrowing
What if long length were to start narrowing?
And then we would no longer need to hide
So who next should we throw over the side?
