Save the Greenback! *

You need new airplane factories no tough negotiations
You need a tax exemption or you'll fly to Mexico
You need a forest access road for free from Bend to Stayton
You need a pipeline with no fee to capitalize your railroads

Your family owns the whole Northwest - you make our inks not runny
Please, wait inside the Knickerbocker for your printed money

You need a shiny Learjet for your daily commutes
You need a fleet of Tauruses for all your secret agents
You need a public stadium for your private fans to root
You need fresh water systems free for California raisins

W-ell, you stood National Guard in Texas, so, you got it comin', Sonny
Have a pint of Jim Beam while we print your paper money

You need identification chips to implant your young heifer cows
You need modification for your cotton pickin' genes
You need cultivation, seminal funds to upgrade last year's plows
You need F. Lee Bailey, baby! Who knows what the Farm Bill means?

But you were in the FFA and won blue ribbons with your bunny
Stand in line around the corner down the block while the central bank prints up more new money

You need old Gibson's rugged cross in your heavenly Hollywood properties
You need Coleridge' albatross 'round mariners of mystic poetry
You need Rockefeller's ghost and BP needs his subsidies
You need a giant shrine like Buddha, Mother Mary hounds D.C.

While you salute George Washington the Pope won't laugh, it's funny
Line up by some Mennonites, we'll print you bags of money

Your allowances, deductions on your thirty year loans
Fiber nets and towers 4G iPad Droid iPhones
All that you can deduct, you take, the tax code is a steal
Call every loop hole open, it's someone else's cash you feel

You're registered to vote, so, you got it comin', Honey
Be patient, we'll get to you when, the ink dries on the money..
