Lesson cost billions, again/

Bring our banks to heel/

Hilltop city looms/

Poppies, monkeys will slow us/

Need pail of water/

Steel behind the smile/

Iron firm focus on ends/

Foil for Red anger/

Green trail of Dem greed/

Senate’s slow walk of failure/

Up, down, we all lose/

A toast to your health/


The most in sixty long years/


And yet not enough/

Blood money roots for the kill/

Throw in, or fight back?/

Lobbys mainline cash/

Addicts on the Hill deny/

Medical chaos/


Facts be damned/

“Just one more fix” our Reps plead/

Its never just one/


Feh, the “war on drugs”/

Look in the fucking mirror/

You cringing junkies/


Another DC day/

Delay, deny, blame others/

Low expectations/


Stand up, grow a spine/

Own the problem, work for us/

Today, right now, go/

Sad pale Senators/

Lips flapping, gas erupting/

No match for wisdom/
