Pitching Pill Patent Profits
GlaxoSmithKline (ERA 16.543)

"What a great concerted effort
    on the part of everyone
To push the price of health care up
    as fast as we've all done

"We thank all you pill pushers
    and Senate prostitutes whose pimps
Spread insurance loot around
    making sure nobody scrimps.

"Now we at Smith-Kline-Glaxo,
    or whatever, need a hand
To help extend our patents
    like forever so each brand

"Gets no generic competition
    so the prices that we charge,
Everywhere but Canada,
    can skyrocket by an large.

"Largest for the biologics
    which cost little more to make,
But when you see the price we get,
    you'll see what we have at stake.

"Why do clowns like Buckley
    want to scrap a health care bill
That extends the life of patents,
    increasing profits from a pill,

"And insurance loot that pimps share
    with those of us concerned?
Who gives a damn if John Q. Public
    feels he's being burned?"
