Jail to the Thief

Jail to the Thief, for he’s taken what was never his own, Lined every pocket while the people were left holding the bone. He signed off the orders, then he cashed all the checks, And laughed at the voters while he cashed all the checks. Jail to the Thief, and his Cabinet of criminals too, They handed out contracts to the cronies they already knew. The Secretary’s billing for a yacht and a plane, And charging the taxpayers again and again. Jail to the Thief, and the family he crowned like a king, The daughter, the son-in-law, they’re grabbing everything. Foreign accounts and a few billion more, They’ve never been so rich, and they’re still keeping score. Jail to the Thief, for the billions that vanished like smoke, From bridges to housing deals — the treasury’s broke. They gilded their towers on the public’s last dime, And called it the art of a magnificent crime. Jail to the Thief! Let the gavel come down, Rip off the scepter and the fraudulent crown. The verdict is written in the ledgers they cooked — Jail to the Thief — and the crooks that he booked.
