Politicos' Dance

They flip and they flop,
They dribble and drop,
Politicos dance
To the lobbyists' hop,
And graft is channeled
Without any stop
To the Congressmen's club,
While in Iraq boys die
And mothers cry
'cause George told a lie,
They say - for oil profits,
That's why,
Seems, the whole system,
More or less,
Turned into an unholy mess.
