the senator from WallStreet serves big banks
as if what's good for them were good for us
and they give millions to her with their thanks
such quid pro quo's routine, no cause for fuss
"one man one vote" is what we had enacted
but corporations elect whom they please
through cock-eyed courts this simple law's refracted
it's businesses, not voters who are free
professor Lessig thought he saw a way
to clean the system up and then bow out
but no one broadcasts what he has to say
they've paying customers and wares to tout
as long as money plays, the People lose
until in time our rage runs out of fuse
