Votes For Sale * Sung to the tune "Love For Sale" Votes for sale Drug advisory votes for sale Ties to Pfizer or to Merck? Pay back time to get more work? Votes for sale. Who has ties? Who will help to promulgate their lies? Heart attacks and strokes? Mundane COX-2 drugs kill only pain Who'll advise? Let the critics speculate Who was prob'ly swayed To vote 'For' and not 'Against', Knowing they've been paid. If you want your drug approved And not suddenly removed, Buy votes, 'Aye' votes, Even bald-faced lie votes. Votes for sale - Enterprising 'Guess' votes for sale Ask who should have been recused Whose credibility's abused Who's for sale? * The New York Times - 2/25/05 "10 Voters on Panel Backing Pain Pills Had Industry Ties"
