2 Pentagon Parties= 0 ‘debt ceiling’
Both war-profiteers, wheeling and dealing—
junk medal-chested generals ever concealing
what greasy-thumbed accountants are stealing
It’s Mike and Ike Kabuki Theater
Where Ol’ Schmo is some smooth operator
Insurance-Bank bailout activator—
Reducing us to: Passive Spectator…
2 Pentagon Parties= 0 ‘debt ceiling’
“Medicare for ALL?! Why, that’s unappealing—
astronomical costs send us reeling!!

“Affordable Housing?! That, we’re not feeling…
“Free Education?!” Hear the pigs squealing:
Both war-profiteers—wheeling and dealing!!
