Hooks and Crooks (Neil Cotton)

Who runs the game dictating our lives
Entitled on top telling us lies.
Assuming rights, beyond me and you
Shufflin’ deals in, secret back rooms

Hooks and crooks King with the axe
Wild Cards make the rules
Rest of us in the deck
Are stuck at face value

Developers will vote upon command
So they can access government grants
Joe and Joline average, can launch a protest
But the damn odds are, stacked against us.

Hooks and crooks King with the axe
Wild Cards make the rules
Rest of us in the deck
Are stuck at face value

No wild cards, should be allowed
Play the hand, good luck all ‘round

Hooks and crooks King with the axe
Wild Cards make the rules
Rest of us in the deck
Are stuck at face value

Hi Neil:

Enjoyed the song and it's message. I guess from my perspective, it applies equally across all borders, party affiliations and individual politicians. As you know, our Country (on your southern border) is under invasion from legions of poor hispanics. They are overwhelming our social services, increasing our tax burdens at all levels, and because the "other party" considers them "beholden"... are being encouraged to vote illegally. In essence, our Country is being stolen by unethical, greedy, self-serving politicians who already have bodyguards and walls around their homes and offices... and their minions who sneak across the border each day. Need I say more?

Thanks for sharing. Best of luck with it.

----Dave

There are some partisan folks here who are upset with refugees seeking asylum here, from Syria, and Haiti via USA.
Too many self serving politicians every where.
