House of Paine

lottery

 all we hear these days
out of the partisans 
 of  Dembellocracy 
 seems to be 
the same  old back and forth
about 
Saddam’s wmd’s

where are they now
georgie porgie ?

 a fools gotcha game 
  
where are they now

 and where were they then

fucking who cares now 
give it up

 hey children
we was lied to 

so fucking what 

i say 
 turn the page



--------------------------------------------------

i say 
why blame an  honest  liar

even if he’s the CnC
even if he’s oval office Pete 

HE’S GOT A RIGHT 

he’s human 
cut him some slack

 so Bush and company 
 lied to you   

what else is new middle America 

when a President’s  got a
 force related  project
that could really
 fill his tank

but He’s got 
 no plausible public benefit 
to flog 
and no real clear and present danger 

what else can a guy do 

 he cooks the kettle 
he  lies 

just like you would 

hell little leaguers 
these inside operators 
 like Bushkabob
they’re  executives
 for christ sake
big E executives 
cold blooded executives 

 and executives 
good ones anyway 
ones worth 
 the fancy  paint job
 they  lead 

they don’t reflect
they don’t scruple 
they don’t ponder

guys like that 

they act 

 they enter office with a purpose 
they got plans in their pockets
and gold crusted   dreams

yes dreams 
 just like all of us air breathers 
should have 
 even if we don’t 

dreams and desires

fuck sister 
thats the stuff of greatness
and near greatness

 for gods sake 
what do you want up in front there 
riding
 the number one pony anyway
 an accountant 
 a monk 
a mime 

hello 
hell no 

so grow up and cut ‘eem some slack 


but the god damn
   cow congress 
  now that’s another story 

shame on you congress
you   
you wormy
 hoofed  cuffs 
 you slobbering trough feeders

just what are you pulling on 
us good people 
---------------------------------------------------------
this is supposed to be 
a representative
 democracy we got here 

this is supposed to be
 one of those 
“ by for of ” 
 set ups 

some have said 
we’re supposed to be
the last best hope
for one of those “ by for ofs“

we  the people 
the sovereigns
we’ re supposed to get
represented 
we’re the
“of and fors” 
and you  boys and girls up there
on Capitol Hill  
your supposed to be 
our “ bys”

you congressers 
 is supposed to be
 us people   in small
made large 

not a pack of heffers
 chewing fodder 

 ALL YOU
US PRIME CONGOLIANS 
 its your play 
on IIIIraq
that fucks 

you  needed
 to find out whats up 
 war wise 
 before you threw the green switch
shit 
you ‘re supposed to do 
the damn do  diligence

not pull  stuff like
 
“ ah   what the hell its popular 
with the knuckle draggers out there
might as well let the sucker rip ”

you got to do some  checking 
 and wo wo ‘n 

you’re not supposed to
  just give us ignorant  Helots 
what  we’re baying for 
fuck we’re not stable 
 we’re too fucking 
bored and furious
to make sense of these overseas matters 
  and for that 
we all deserve a toasting or two
  I agree

 but you're our reps
 you got to  serve us right 
no matter how fucking slanted we get

  what you done
to us with this Iraq shit 
 plain stinks
 
  and that goes for all 
 you laying low demmos too

 tricky  traps don’t cut it either

stuff  like  
“ for now lets  lay low
 slip stream 
the band wagon.
for christs sake pal
it’d be crazy
maybe even suicidal 
 to stand up in front of this thing
now 
 any clown saying 
 stop the insanity now 
 shit he’s 
 going to get mowed over 
like a road turtle  .....................
.......... besides hehe 
 no sweat  
we can blame that two cent Satchamo
 in the white house if things go dixie on us 
......... we can slap the ball right out of his hands ”

 sound like you 
you fucking dummocats 

 the pure breed citizenry out here 
 hearing  fur wings like yours 
flap flap flapping
round and round 
with nothing but  shit
 on your teeth 
while yank bloods aspilling 
over there 

saviour fuck us  
 right about now 
there oughta be a 
torch mob in motion
headed straight up that hill
to bacon smoke you
fuck faces


you daughter licking scum 
 you fucking knew the score
before the troops 
went in
 and you fucking know 
it now too
  
 you needed to shut
 this turd wagon down before it rolled 
all the way to Iraq 

you're the mother fuckers 
that shoulda put a stop to this 

its the peoples reps got to say sorry 
no can do
 when a big fat   ten gallon  dream  
that lacks even the alias of 
 a national dimension
rolls up the hill at you 

when a fruit truck 
 like that 
gets slapped in front of you 
you say no asshole no 
nice try georgie girl but
 eat me 

loyal oppositions got that calling   

nope not you creeps 
 in this fandango
 you dummobats in congress behaved like
 a bunch of  mat tumblers
 
christ you were flipping in the air
 over each other 
day and night  looking for the exits




how can you blame Bush 
how can we blame Bush 
its human nature 
to push idiots like you around 
  
tipping over   hornless 
big ass 
 grass eaters is fun  

with congress cows
 its a natural law 
if someone can tip ya 
 they will  tip ya 

course
you don’t always have pictures 
of nuclear  missiles
 getting readied 90 miles off shore

 so you play Hollywood Gothic 

shits sister 
you all fucking knew the drill
its you damnocrats  who 
ought to  be riding around on  rails
for this fiasco 
yes you 

you’re  the  only fair and square 
 tar and feather candidates
in this setup 

not Bush not Rummy 
not the neocons not the energy slime
 not the brass hats
not even your cross aisle 
  buddies
the cock sucking 
corporate corn holed
 republican majority
--------------------------

well the milks spilt
and there it is

 we’ll have to pay for it  
 and soldier on 

or  do we ?

 since it happens  so damn often 
before we get tossed 
in the next  cess pool 

 my fellow americans 
 I  got a proposal

and it should 
cool a few jets 
ON CAPITOL HILL 

the next time 
THE CnC tosses the assembled muddlement 
 up  there another  neat new armed 
 foreign  adventure


heres my proposal

its a little something 
the ancient Athenians
cooked up  25 hundred years ago 


translated into our system 
goes like this 

congress oks a war
 on our behalf
and its not bone fide 
its actually a parade float
 a string pull 
a sucker sundae

we make it the law of the land 
like the old time Athenians did 
that for that caliber of betrayal 
we croak a few of our elected finest

thats right croak them
 of them sotskis 

make it a capitol offense

follow me 
 let one of these frog marches slip by and its 
an el croako offenso 

too tough ? ok ok 
maybe so 
 the greeks invented democracy
so naturally  they took it seriously 
they  played it   for  keeps

 maybe its nice that  we don’t

so for the present tense
heres an update
heres how I say we even things up
 if not eye for eye
at least fairs fair 

next time before  our duly elected reps
 in their deliberate wisdom 
take blood and money of theAmerican kind 
 and throw it at some alleged foreign menace
 
pass a law that says
 if  you congress cows moo
 wrong this time 

if  this expedition turns sour
if we
 all the people that is
 decide we got snake smacked
if we the people decide 
our sons and daughters were sent on a fools mission 

  if after the lovin 
everyone gets an itch

if for what ever reason
what so ever 
our congress   lets itself get 
punked by a compact of pirates

 then under the neogreek set up
provided for in this proposed  law 
 we the people get them reptiles
I mean  
get them right then 
and get them right  there
 get them and get them good 

 I mean hit the MF  talking bovines
 with 
  life in prison
 yes the long stretch 
and hard hard time too 
 without flat screen tv or 
  possiblity of parole 

 life  yes life in a cell 
for ever and a day 
for a reresentation 
of representitives 

heres just how
it all  could  work

 
you  have a lottery

get a big stinking hat 
 throw in the names of  all the relevent  congressionals
 all 535 of them 
 give the fucking thing one hell of a shake 
and commence to pull out names

 I’d say one for every 200 dead combat troopers 

remember 
 even if they voted no on the war 
in the hat they go 
none of this 
 hey I voted against it fore flushing
no madam got to be firm on this point 
voting agin 
that won’t 
 help you one testicle

no log rolls here
 no back scratches
 no OOPS  close call 
don’t blame me stuff

if it looks as bad as it smells 
 then brother or sister 
get off the hill fast 
 resign your seat now before the vote 
or face the lottery

 you’re either off the hill
 or your in the hat
---------------------------
 as a good nite fantasy 

lets use this Iraq action
 as a for instance

   what we seen so far 
 150 battle dead  
in round numbers 

whow  

this time fellas 
with our humane system of 
 200 to one 
 your butts are safe 
that is 
for the moment 

 so far   you plug headed heffers
 your off the hook 

 until the number hits 200 dead 

but but but 
 at two hundred deaths one of you old boys
 gets a  ticket to  the pebble farm

remember LEBANON 
one car bomb killed all those marines
over two hundred


kinda puts a fire under ya
don’t it  hoss  

if we had 
my 200 to one 
pay back ass kick in place 
today imagine.......

today 
hell imagine if we had it back in 68 around tet time 
 
what ho 
 i count  250  life time scholar inmates
if they didn’t halt the proceedings

make my plan the law of the land 
and face it scouts 
 the C team  up there in Washington 
 would be hoping  
for  JESUS 

what a deal 
 not like here and now 
where young souls
 are  shot down and blown apart
day in and day out over there
while your reps and senators
 point fingers 
at each other with feckless sanctimony

i say to you 

whats your pleasure america 

more of the same 
more 
 one -a-day
slaughter  
 till 
Exxon -Shell and the Pied Pipers decide
 they got their deal over there 
  covered 

does that leave 
 a good taste in your mouth
mr and mrs America 

 I hope not
