His Vote's Been Sold

To the tune of King of the Road

Want an energy tax increase
But, some reps just were not pleased
So I asked what would it take
To get a yes on cap and trade
Well, how about just 20 mill
For my district in that bill
He’s a man of means with big dreams
His vote’s been sold

The vote’s still one hundred shy
From letting this tax bill fly
So still I work that room
‘Til 99 have met their doom
It’s so long it can’t be read
But we’ll add ear marks til we’re dead
He’s a man of means with big dreams
That vote’s been sold

Citizens have called to complain
But hey those folks are all the same
If they should question what I’ve done
I’ll show the cash I’m bringing home

Want an energy tax increase
But, some reps just were not pleased
So I asked what would it take
To get a yes on cap and trade
Well, how about just 20 mill
For my district in that bill
He’s a man of means with big dreams
