PERVERTS, NARCISSISTS AND THIEVES

To pick up on the theme of The Sanity Squad this week:

PERVERTS, PUNKS* AND THIEVES

We were born in the shadow of our great Uncle Sam
But the elephant and donkey no longer give a damn
They both do much less than whatever they should
And virtuously prate about the 'common good'.

Chorus
Perverts, punks and thieves--
Go hear it from the shrinks of the Sanity Squad !
They call 'em perverts, punks and thieves--
Because both parties screw around,
You can count on them to let their country down.

One emailed a page just south of D.C.
Another used cigars for deniability
Both push the pork and just wanna have fun
And get re-elected
Without a thought to the harm that they've done

Chorus
Perverts, punks and thieves
Go hear it from the shrinks of the Sanity Squad !
They call 'em perverts, punks and thieves--
Because both parties screw around,
You can count on them to let their country down

Get elected and you think you're so great,
Entitled for whatever you please;
Soon you hallucinate that you are the state
A major symptom of the narcissist's disease (uh-huh)
A major symptom of US congressman's disease (uh-huh)

We were born in the shadow of our great Uncle Sam
But the elephant and donkey no longer give a damn
They both do much less than whatever they should
And virtuously prate about the 'common good'.


*"Punks" scans much better than "narcissists" don't you think?
