QUEL DOMMAGE (April 21) 
We can’t sell this barrel of crude oil
Nowhere to store it, we’re giving it free
Good old Donnie will hand us a bail out
Three cheers for de-mock-ro-cy
It is our oil-o-garchy’s pleasure
whenever things go wrong
we raid the nation’s treasure(y)
same old dance and song
We admit our profligate dealing
destroys the country from sea to sea
still we see no reason to change things
there’s nothing we won’t do
no one we won’t screw
for our prof't-ab-il-it-y
