Who is “They”?

They ought to help the farmer

     And buy the ranchmen hay.

They ought to lower taxes,

     But who, my friend, are they?

They ought to raise the pensions

     And help the debtors pay.

They ought to trim the budget,

     But who, indeed, are they?

We’ve got to have a bonus

     Or something else that’s free

But high surprise awaits us –

     To find that “they” are we!
