Nice Work If You Can Get It

To Commemorate NY's Silver Debacle, I've played with the lyrics to a Dire Straits Classic.

$$$ Por NADA

Look at them yo yo's - that's the way you do it
Legislators in the L.O.B.
That ain't working - that's the way you do it
Money for nothing and your trips for free.
Now that ain't working that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya those pols ain't dumb
Maybe holding more fundraisers
Maybe give taxpayers a crumb

We gotta drain the stinking swamp
Democracy Recovery
We must remove the legislators
We owe it to our progeny

I shoulda learned to get donations
I shoulda learned to raise the funds
Look at that charmer muggin for the camera
Man we coulda had some fun
Look he's up there, makin campaign noises
Kissing babies for them all to see
That ain't working, that's the way you do it
Money for nothin and your trips for free

We gotta drain the stinking swamp
Democracy Recovery
We must remove the legislators
We owe it to our progeny

Now that ain't working, that's the way you do it
Money for nothin get your trips for free
Money for nothin and your trips for free

Term Limits Anyone?
