Buzzards of Corruption

Hark, you buzzards of corruption,
Politicians flying high,
Getting fat on public money,
While in Iraq children die,
Our young men losing lives,
Don't know really why,
While 'Compassionate Conservatives',
Actually robber baron thieves,
Cut the taxes for their upper classes,
But cut benefits for the masses,
Waving flags, praising the Republic,
While they fleece and damn the public,
Though I think, they've drained their cup,
Comes election - their time is up!
