The Banana Republic

Get in the boat!

Votes are cast

It’s done at last

Same as it always was

In the boat

Of a banana republic

— -

Tax for you and less cash

Come with us as we burn it to ash

Money here and money there

In the boat

Of a banana republic

— -

Left or right

They put up a fight

We hide from you through all we do

Pulling the strings

Of a banana republic

— -

Life gets better, yes it’s true

Like we always promise you

50 years and what do I see

So much less for you and me

Hoist the sail

Of a banana republic

— -

Oh, but this time it will change!

No not us, mentally deranged

So go out, let’s all get drunk

Don’t be in such a funk

Let’s all drown

In a banana republic
