He should be leaving, gone away,
do a stretch of hard time for what he’s done.
From his blame for this fiasco he opts to run.
In this crime he played a big part.

Rick needs a hoosegow number;
he put the Flint residents through hell.
They should put this ahole inside a cell.
Rick needs a hoosegow number;
though he didn’t act alone
His cronies, too, should be in fetters;
they don’t atone.

They poisoned a whole town, try to dodge blame,
and they’re all still thriving, but others—no.

Rick needs a hoosegow number;
they should put this ahole in a cell.
His depredations made people unwell.
Rick needs a hoosegow number,
though he didn’t act alone.
His cronies, too, should be in fetters,
then graybar home.

He tells himself “not guilty” lies
while folks from Flint get sick and die.
He’s well-versed in deception art.

Rick needs a hoosegow number;
they should put this ahole in a cell,
“We didn’t know”’s the line he tries to sell.
Rick’s deeds made some folks “slumber,”
but he never will atone.
Crooks like him never get in fetters,
they freely roam.

Rick needs a hoosegow number.
Rick, cheap dolt makes folks suffer.
