Call and Response

Here’s to the boys in the club who work
So hard to keep their old friends happy
Drunk drivers philanderers landlords fixers
And the Evangelicals who support them

Pass the plate
Give the lads a job

Here’s to Christian values and the head of
Consumer protection how proud to swear he only
Met with those lobbyists who gave money
To his campaign, such high values

Rap sheet this
Give the schlub a job

Don’t you just love the cone of silence being used
To protect that fragile EPA chief, who chose his
Disgraced banker and his disbarred lawyer
To oversee our air, water and Superfund sites

Rest assured
Give yourself a blowjob boys

These are the best people. Believe it. Your
Semi-elected one told you so. He vowed. And you know
His word is as good as dragon energy.
How well they pound the table line their pockets con you

Rap-ture politics
Why not give Kanye a job

April 23 and the true believers whet their wallets
Pledge their blessings spend their futures
As they dismantle what’s left of the mirage
We used to call democracy

That myth about American
Exceptionalism, just that:
Pay to play.
Pay to pray
Pray to play.
Pay and pay.
