For annabanana. :)

I Write The Laws

(To the tune of I Write The Songs - Barry Manilow)


I got your ass elected
And I wrote your very first law
I put the greed into legalese so clever
I am ALEC, and I write the laws

I write the laws that earn the corporate bling
I write the laws, above them, that's the thing
I write the laws that let you stand your ground
I write the laws, I write the laws

Tell my lies creep, I own you
I've got the title to your soul
When you look out for my guys
They are rich again, leave the poor out in the cold

I write the laws that earn the corporate bling
I write the laws, above them, that's the thing
I write the laws that let you stand your ground
I write the laws, I write the laws

Away with prescription drugs, and them we'll blame it on union thugs
And we'll kill those benefits, too good for you
Adios Head Start, that Viagra's good for the heart
Voters got no IDea
Take from them, give to me
Ain't it grand this larceny

I write the laws that earn the corporate bling
I write the laws, above them, that's the thing
I write the laws that let you stand your ground
I write the laws, I write the laws
(repeat)

I am ALEC, and I write the laws
