What a Gas!

prices goin' up, prices goin' down; quit playin' with our pockets, we're wearin' a funky frown! every time the prices drop, our hopes are ridin' high; just when we think the price is right, you "sock" us in the eye! you sit around in fancy suits, rich as hell and greedy; you suck us dry like a fat mosquito, rippin' off the poor and needy! let us gather our whippin' sticks, without negotiation; we'll beat 'em all in a public square, for crimes against our nation!

here here! let's turn them up side down and shake the money out of their pockets. tax their income till their eyeballs fall out their sockets. let them see how it feels when prices sky rocket. and if you don't like sweet revenge don't get mad and knock it . jhl
