Romney Ryan and Rand
Oh the world will be so grand:
With every hold on commerce banned
Wealth will trickle down like sand;
If you roll with Romney, Ryan and Rand
Funny how money runs uphill
Screw the poor, the old, the ill.
What we do may seem greedy and vicious
But it tastes like chicken and it’s so delicious.
I’ll pump my pecks; in my swift boat
I’ll grab a catfish by the throat.
Oh the world will be so grand
If you vote for me and Romney and Rand.
So let’s join together, rich and… rich
Leave them not a crumb or stitch
(Underclasses be advised:
Greed’s about to get supersized)
Join together, white and… white
Feel that surging sense of might
Rip out all the safety nets
And we can double down our bets
Straight and… straight, male and… male
When has greed been known to fail?
Oh the world will be so grand
If you roll with Romney, Ryan and Rand
Never mind the terrorists
(better them than socialists)
Bail out Wall Street? That sounds fair,
To hell with schools and Medicare.
Here’s to our sovereign, the good Queen Ayn
Hail all hail the dollar sign.
Free enterprise will give us solace:
Halliburton uber alles.
Oh the world will be so grand:
With every hold on commerce banned
Wealth will trickle down like sand;
If you roll with Romney, Ryan and Rand
