    MONEY FOR NOTHIN'

                                     File:Money for Nothing single.JPG

    Overheard playing at a recent meeting of the Young Republicans:

     

    I want my senate seat

    (a bunch of music)

     

    Now look at them ya ya's that's the way you do it

    You run for office toward a senate seat

    That aint workin that's the way you do it

    Money for nothing and your chicks for free

    Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it

    Most senators, they aint dumb

    Sexual and financial scandals won't linger.

    Pay your aides off and they go mum

     

    The pollsters are just half-assed paid off shamans

    Custom survey vagaries

    We gotta block these legislations

    We gotta earn these briberies

     

    See that faggot with the bible and the flag pin

    Yeah buddy, that's his favorite flair

    That little maggot got his own jet airplane

    The little faggot is a millionaire


    Gotta scream for anti abortion

    Make those laws in perpetuity

    We gotta stop these agitators

    Gotta help the big oil companies

     

    The pollsters are just half-assed paid off shamans

    Custom survey vagaries

    We gotta kill these legislations

    We gotta earn these briberies


    I must learn to be a better liar

    I have to learn to play to them bums

    Look at Obama, he's oratin to the camera

    Socialist bastard him

    Some birth certificate with Hawaiian noises

    Good repubs paint him as a chimpanzee

    But the voters still like him for it

    Gotta libel him for them big briberies

     

    The pollsters are just half-assed paid off shamans

    Custom survey vagaries

    We gotta stop these legislations

    We gotta earn these briberies

     

    Look a'here

    This aint workin it's like they dont do shite

    Just learn to spin it on cable tv

    But it's got to work on a short sound bite

    We will get money for nothing and our chicks for free

    Money for nothing and our chicks for free

     

    Got to get your money for nothin' and your chicks for free

    And the chicks for free

    Look at that, look at that

     

    Gotta call for anti abortion

    Make those laws in perpetuity

    We gotta kill these agitators

    Gotta help those mortgage companies
