Barking Scared

Once upon a time Republican and corporation
Worked hand in hand to influence how they both ran our nation
Republicans passed laws that make rich corporations glad
And corporations wrote the biggest checks lawmakers had

And everything between the two groups was hunky-dory

But now McConnell’s scared as a Republican can be.

It seems that Coke and other giant corporations feel

That laws passed in Georgia and Texas are not a good deal

Because they have to look ahead and looking ahead see

That future customer bases will not lily white be

And since their goal is selling stuff and not suppressing votes

Their turn against Republicans sticks in GOP throats.

In states like Georgia and Texas Republicans agree

That only by suppressing votes can they a future see

Their future vision is the opposite of corporations

Who see their future as selling to non-white populations

So it has come to pass these former comrades disagree

On vote suppression laws passed by some local GOP.

Poor Mitch is therefore barking scared that it has come to pass

That instead of checks companies send him kicks in the ass

On one hand he needs his GOP candidates to win

And on the other knows less corporate funds will do them in

He cannot see a middle ground when future so diverge

And so rather than good times songs he’s singing a sad dirge.

The future of the future Mitch’s Republicans see

Is just as lily white as it could as fine whitely be

The future of the future that big companies observe

Is selling to new populations not on the white curve

And so the two sides see no longer their futures as one

And Mitch is barking scared that his Republicans are done.

Mitch knows to replace his old gang Trump cultists will arise

Who don’t need corporate sponsors to keep their campaigns alive

Instead they’ll get small donations from conspiracy nuts

Who rabidly buy all their lies no ifs or ands or buts

As corporation checks decline small donations will grow

And off into the sunset Mitch Republicans will go.

Republicans have sown the wind so it is no surprise

The whirlwind they’re now reaping’s grown to such tremendous size

One thing led to another and what’s leading to the end

Of their party is disagreement with those once called friend

Profits are the bottom line for corporations so

Between past friends and future markets guess which one will go.
