THE SWAMPERS
They stick together like
they’re solid groups,
But you know there are
crooks on both sides
Oh! La-De-La!
La-De-La-Da!
My heart cries out.
Who are they?
Why are they and who
put them there for life?
And the people get taken in
They smile. They smile
Yes, they smile
while getting screwed over
Screwed over by the people
who are serving for life
Term limits are talked about,
but it’s all just talk, but
Inside trading and payoffs
are real. It is like eating dinner,
just hold out your plate
Why else do they serve
if not to become rich and
read speeches to constituents.
Lies must be accurately told
They make their promises
with profundity. Not backed
by singers or a band. And
the people have eyes that
are glazed over, waiting for
the jerks to end. They
know that it is another
lie fest, but these are their men.
The process stays the same
It is really just a game
The cry for money to stay
They already get millionaires pay
and benefits until they die
Are heroes in everyone’s eye
The agendas change, but
the parties stay the same
Held firmly in the greedy swamp
The authentic name of the game
