Phew, you sure got to climb a lot of steps to get to this capitol building here in Washington.
But I wander who that sad little scrap of paper is
I'm just a bill! Oh yes! I'm only a bill
just trying to get through on capitol hill. I thought the power of my ideas
would carry the deal
but i've been told that it doesn't work that way
Cuz the lobby game has come to town, with lots of money to pay
To pay
They hail from K Street, with influential thoughts
that roomies and TV spots
Hired to make opinions sway
now red or blue
their parties are sustained
Listen to all that noise
who are they all arguing about
That's my friend health care reform
He wanted to ensure the masses
He was a bill yes only a bill
but lobbiers spent 700 mill
to give their ideas some extra clout
and now the
result of public option is out
Oh no that's awful!
You think that's bad? Wall st lobbyist have Main st deranged.
Half a billion later, regulations unchanged
They meet for tea and say
no to taxes
Some say they have
caused financial collapses
you know what's funny
even with all that money, they can't rob your ballot, your vote keeps their jobs
Yeah a bill is just a bill,
but your vote
can get it through
With strong public will
Hold your reps accountable, you have a say
