"Joining The Koch Brothers"

(And receiving the appropriate rewards)

If the Koch Boys are for it, you know it would be great
For billionaires like them and the people they bribe.
Their money talks? ALEC red state puppets walk.
It's a small but exceedingly prosperous tribe.

They've got ALEC involved? Please rest assured
Big bucks already have, or very soon will change hands.
What the Kochs are proposing and starting to purchase
Could turn virgin forests into desecrated wastelands.

Pay to pollute's how the Kochs operate.
They pay ALEC and their think tank
To buy them permission from red-state legislators
And politicians
to to pollute willy nilly point-blank.

Why should they pay ALEC for permission to poison
Our air, land and seas and our kids and their kids?
Do we want politicians being rewarded
For putting our nation's healthiness up for bids?

What do the Kochs care? They'll buy a new location
In order to put their names up in lights
Under the gravely mistaken impression
That glamor will rub off of actors and actresses,
And famous playwrights.

If these are your goals, too, then hop right on board.
They don't need your money but you're welcome to join.
And as a token of their appreciation
They'll rob you, and rape you, and deny your right to vote,
Then bestow upon you a commemorative coin.
