By Executive Order
By Executive Order he gave them a raise
The sorriest Congress voters ever made.
Don't you wish you could get paid
For NOT doing your job every day?
As we face the fiscal cliff, and nothings
been done to keep from going over it.
By Executive Order they all get a raise
When everyone knows they're all over paid.
The cost for this is only a cool billion
While the unemployed among us
Number in the millions, and we will loose
our unemployment checks
While the politicians chuckle, What the heck!
If we did our jobs like they do theirs
We'd be fired or forced to retire
And never again would we be hired.
When was the last time you got a raise?
Most of us feel lucky to just get paid.
So the long and the short of it is pretty plain
Politics is a sleazy game.
And the people they serve
are the ones who pay, and pay, and pay.
Things have really been turned around.
We work for them, they call the shots.
As a whole,they're all a sorry lot.
But we put them there, that's what we got!
Pretty stupid, I suppose
But I don't like getting hosed!
