I'm a fat poll cat on a fence, I've got the cure for the ails of man. Wrapped in a flag, tapping the trends, I'm armed with promises and a plan: Taxes are good--Freedom is bad Do as you're told--My lies are true . I'll keep you safe--Don't worry about the Liberties I take--Someone needs to think for you. I rob Tobacco and Big Business. I've soul-killing reforms to fund. Sure I've issues all tucked away, I just don't show them to anyone. Give me a buck, you'll get back a dime. In God we trust? That will be the day. Pardon me, planet Washington is calling I must make more laws I won't obey. Calling all hate-mongers-- (only millionaires need apply). There no room in the system for common sense or common guys. Just hug a tree and eat tofu, Marry your dog, but leave well enough alone. I'm doing my job! Who you going to believe-- Me or your own two eyes?
