WHO HAS THE GOLD MAKES THE RULES

America’s “best” politicians,

Deep pockets all with bucks to burn,

Get television’s expositions

And yet the voters never learn.

A TV spot is so confining:

Can hide a pol who’s always whining;

And yet he’s never gloomy Gus,

As PAC men fill our heads with pus.

Gorged bank accounts will win elections.

The Court has made this dream come true

So now there’s nothing we can do 

To stop the rich from their selections.

Democracy takes megabucks,

So pols treat us like we're  “hockey pucks.”
