The Lyrics

For the record I'm of the opinion that the majority of politicians (left and right blue or red) are corrupt. I believe this song confirms that.
Now I make my money from a boondoggle
Boondoggle
Boondoggle
Government payoffs from a boondoggle
Boondoggle
Boondoggle

And if I had an honest job
Like all those common working slobs
Oh if I had an honest job
Oh me oh me oh me oh me
I'd not have my brunch no more

And if I didn't have the treat
Of suckling off this country's teat
Oh if I didn't have that ample teat
Oh me oh me oh me oh me
I'd not be a leach no more

Cause
I make my profits from some boondoggles
Boondoggles
Boondoggles
The checks keep a coming from those
Boondoggles
Boondoggles
Boondoggles

And if I had an honest soul
I'd take much less
And give much more
Yes if I was an honest soul
Oh me oh me oh me oh me
I'd not have this big ego

And if I had some empathy
I'd think of us and not of me
Oh if I had that empathy
Oh me Oh me Oh me Oh me
I'd not be a sleaze no more

Oh
After I was elected
Became a parasite
After I was elected
My vote went to the highest pri i i i i ice


I make big profits from my Boondoggles
Boondoggles
Boondoggles
Fatten my wallet through those Boondoggles

Boondoggles
Boondoggles

Boondoggles
Boondoggles

Boondoggles
Boondoggles
