I Like Being a Congressman by Diana Miller

I like being a Congressman    

The job is mighty fine      

I only work two days a week  

Taxpayers do not whine    

I make the laws and write the checks

And help the country run

I Meet the Press & Morning Joe

And maybe shoot a gun

I get to visit ‘round  the world

And never pay a dime

Taxpayers fund my every trip

I’m smiling all the time

My staff  talk to the taxpayers

I’m too busy for that

Lobbyists need all of my time

Get money for a chat

I get to get away with lots

Emptying the coffers

The more I spend the more I get

Taking Lobby offers

I have the power of the state

I control the nation

People die without my vote

While I take a vacation

Hungry children and starving Vets

Their lives depend on me

But businesses don’t want to pay

So I just wait and see

This black man in the White House

Has really made me mad

I sit and stew and do nothing

And make my people sad

But that’s OK, Yes, that’s alright

Big business has my back

While people starve and people die

I fill my money sack

Millions of dollars I rake in

But it doesn’t help the people

Because to get elected now

I have to fool the sheeple

I spend all my time complaining

That the President is wrong

He’s trying to fix the nation

He’s trying to be strong

But that won’t do, no not at all

How dare he do his job

While Congress sits and does nothing

Stirring up a lynch mob

You see, I have the citizens

Wrapped around my fingers

I hide behind Rush, Beck, & Fox

Though the stench still lingers

I have the people where I want

Believing that I care

I smile at them and lie to them

And say, “It’s good, I swear”

And if that doesn’t work for me

I have my own goon squad

I’ll cry & pray & tell them all

That I was sent by God

You see that Christianity

Is good for politicians

God Bless America, Amen

Puts you ahead of competition

I want the sheeple dumb and poor

Uneducated’s best

The less I spend on them, you see,

The more they’ll work for less

If taxpayer’s should get upset

If they should ask for more

I’ll simply tell them we can’t help

And start another war

If taxpayers ever catch on

It still won’t hurt me, see

When I leave here I’ll have a job

Working for a Lobby

I like being a Congressman

This job, it has its perks

I lie and steal from everyone

And you’re the one who works
