Buzz Ballad: While John Boehner Gently Weeps

While John Boehner Gently Weeps
—apologies to the Beatles, and “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”

I look at the fiscal cliff, see that it’s looming
While John Boehner gently weeps
I look at effective defense that it’s dooming
Still John Boehner gently weeps

I don’t know whatever possessed him
Little more than one year ago
To agree down the road to sequestering
Everyone told him so

All vestige of financial sanity’s ending
While John Boehner gently weeps
He’s done nothing to slow the government spending
So John Boehner gently weeps

No matter how he may maneuver
Now his back’s to the wall
With Obama, he’s a prime mover
Of our financial fall

I look at the fiscal cliff, see that it’s looming
While John Boehner gently weeps
Look at the cliff…
Still John Boehner gently weeps

Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, ooh
