I never doubted government
No not in the slightest
For the people we elected
Were the best-est and the brightest
Their ideas were spectacular
Their plans would never fail
For they likely went to Harvard
Or if not, they went to Yale
Lately, though, their leadership
Is more of a disaster
And I think that second graders
Could solve our problems faster
The reason that we citizens
Are managing their messes
They’re really ALL
Alexandria Octavio-Cortezes
Reviewing their credentials
I’m unhappy to report
Their attitudes are lofty
But their resumes are short
Their intellect and insight
Are far less that I expected
And all that they’ve accomplished
Has been getting re-elected
In Washington, incompetence
Has got our nation shuttered
Workers get no salaries
And no one’s bread gets buttered
While out here in Los Angeles
This most progressive town
Teachers left the classrooms
And the talks have broken down
What motivates my anger and
Increases my frustration
Is what seems to be an attitude of
No negotiation
Go put yourselves behind closed doors
Whisper, talk or shout
And until you reach agreements
Just don’t bother to come out
