                   You got’ta feed your congressman, baby
                   You got to feed him every day
                   You got’ta feed your congressman, baby
                   You got to feed him every day
                   Oh, mornin’, noon an’ nighttime
                   You got’ta kiss his ass in every way

                   Pay his kid’s way to law school
                   Buy his ol’ lady a fancy car
                   Pay his kid’s way to law school
                   Buy his ol’ lady a fancy car
                   Supply him a little boy blue
                   An’ expensive Cuban cigars

                   You got’ta feed your congressman, baby
                   You got’ta feed him every time you get the chance
                   You got’ta wine him an’ dine him
                   And fly'm to Tahiti and France
                   The more ya bribe him, baby
                   The deeper he'll stick his hand down in your pants

                   Got the businessman in his pocket
                   The preacher man in his Gucci shoe
                   Got the businessman in his pocket
                   The preacher in his Gucci shoe
                   Started in life a rich man
                   An’ likely he’ll die one, too

                   Ignore the homeless an’ the veterans
                   And cut the funds for healthcare
                   Vote himself a raise and leave
                   The school lunch tables bare
                   Fill up the ol’ pork barrel
                   And build a bridge to nowhere

                   Pack Wall Street’s war chest
                   On a false weapons pitch
                   Take food off the poor plate
                   An’ give it all to the rich
                   Like Robin Hood in reverse
                   A no-class lyin’ ass son of a bitch

                   Headin’ up to DC
                   For a day of recompense
                   Oh, headin’ on up to DC
                   People’s day of recompense
                   Join the million-mile protest line
                   A genuine capitol offense
                   Yeah, a genuine capitol offense *



* Inspired by Mass Murderers in High Places.
