Wake up in the morning turn on Fox News
See the stock market dropping like the New Year’s ball,
Leaving the country with a huge bruise.
Only one other time like this we can recall.
Subjects change and all I see is mass genocide
Darfur is left to fend for themselves, while we aide Haiti.
I think neither needs our help when I see a homicide.
Missing bodies, missing children, this world is worse than a lady.
Our president says he will change it
So far we haven’t seen anything.
Maybe we should have picked someone with some wit,
Or at least some who would do more than talking.
