Thoughts of Politicians by Proxy
(President-House-Senate)

I'm not a politician
Would never want to be
By looking at their actions
These are the thoughts I see
(proxy thoughts)
What a cush job I have got
Don't have to work so much
The money's good from everywhere
Barely have to stay in touch
Expense account is limitless
Just has to look like work
Have staff that do the thinking
So I don't look like a jerk
The rich who want my favors
Come to my office on the hill
Say I can do a lot for you
If you could only pass this bill
See I get this contract
With a cost plus on the page
And the good things that will come to you
Could not be foretold by a sage
Don't worry about the people
This phrase I say by rote
I memorized, “I'm here for you”
If it's close in time to vote
(epilogue)
There's so much more that I could say
But I'll no longer waste my words
We the people could change everything
If we quit following in herds
