The Lyrics

Back to square one on Obama Care? All because of a single fluke election? This time with bi-partisan input? On C-SPAN? Yeah, right! Again, I write this from the perspective of the administration and Congress. BTW, this is a hard song to nail exactly due to the shifting number of syllables in each line. ;D

We say we're backing down.
We'll rethink health care
'Cause we've finally heard
All you rubes out there.
Don't be fooled! We're not giving up!

Since the Massachusetts race
We act like we've had a scare.
Now Pelosi sighs and claims
Suddenly the votes aren't there.
Don't be fooled! We're still playing rough!
No matter what you believe
We've still got dirty tricks - up our sleeve!

Jobs are what it's all about,
We can see that you're annoyed.
If we cannot fake you out
We'll soon join the unemployed.
Don't be fooled! We're in this for good!
You're stupid useless bums!
We'll take one step back - then here we come!

Health care is our centerpiece
It is way too big to fail
Surely you dumb hicks don't think
That our side would ever bail.
Don't be fooled! We're devoted here!
We seem sincere and real
But we'll use the time - to cut more deals!

Don't be fooled! We will get it yet!
Don't be fooled! It's not dead, you bet!
We'll do it like before!
We'll just get it done - behind closed doors!

In the elegant sophisticated rhetoric of of the street protest, "This isn't over!" ;D

Yep... I'm sure it's just "business as usual" on the Hill. As for our Unobomber, this is what happens when you trust your lobotomy to socialized medicine... ;)

I cannot possibly top the compliment given to you by the UB! (They never "get" that, do they?) ...Nothing proves better that you've hit a nerve ... of an anonymous coward.

Pretty funny, OMR. I tend to disagree on some points because neither party will play "fair", so to speak. It's that the dems are in the same boat Repubs were when they had a majority...no balance leads to poor legislation. Good job, sir!

I'd like it more if all the rhymes were still there, but ok
