Editor’s Note: Columnist Mike Gora changes his focus this week, and offers an “Ode to Congress” sing-along — with apologies to The Beatles.
FOOLS ON THE HILL
The men with the foolish grins chatter away Day after day, alone on the hill
But nobody listens to them
We can see that they are just fools
They never give us answers
But the fools on the hill
See the sun going down
And the eyes in their heads
See the world spinning around
Well on their way, heads in a cloud
The men of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears them
Or the sounds they appears to make
And they never seem to notice
But the fools on the hill
See the sun going down
And the eyes of the world
See the US going to hell
And nobody seems to like them
We can tell what they want to do
Just get themselves re-elected
But the fools on the hill
Don’t see us going down
And the eyes in their heads
See the world spinning around
They never listen to us
We know that they’re the fools
We don’t like what they’re doing to us
The fools on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in our heads
See the world falling down.
