Washington 2006

They buy and keep their public posts,
Their golden sinecures,
With stolen public money,
Give readily false promises
With tongues as sweet as honey,
Create a lifestyle
For themselves - quite sunny,
Take bribes from lobbyists,
Those instruments
Of corporate seduction,
And turn their public trust
Into a hotbed of corruption.
Ah yes, looking at Washington,
One can plainly see
What utter fools these voters be...
