Failing to look past our differences

Rigs of the Time (cont.)

based on some old song

The next is the Republican
I must bring him in
He writes laws for the rich
and he thinks it's no sin!
His love for our freedom
he'll loudly avow
Then it's "Up yer skirts, lassies,
here comes the law now!"
Singing "Honesty's all out of fashion!"
Oh these are the rigs of the time, time, me boys!
These are the rigs of the time!

The next is the Democrat
I must bring him in
He goes where the wind blows
and he thinks it's no sin!
He's proud to exclude
all the racists and cranks
but he still takes his cue
from oil drillers and banks!
Singing "Honesty's all out of fashion!"
Oh these are the rigs of the time, time, me boys!
These are the rigs of the time!

It's no wonder that butter's a shilling the pound...
