Walked in my son’s room and what did I seeHe’s making school posters saying, “Vote for Me”Shoulda seen it comin I guess I shoulda knownBut I really didn’t expect it from one of my ownStarted last year he joined the student councilDidn’t suspect a thing - I just thought he was illThere he was studying; staying after schoolStudent Body President; definitely not cool

I said “son we are hippies” let live and let liveWe are not the taker’s, we are the ones who giveSpread peace and harmony wherever you goTap into the universe and go with the flowHe said “Awe Dad, I won’t get rich doing that”I’ll start a foundation when my wallet is fatI just couldn’t take it, I pulled out some herbSaid “let’s smoke a fatty before I get perturbed”

Be like your brother, he is high as a kiteYou don’t see him grabbing for power and mightHe said “Dad peace and love are overratedI wanna live in a neighborhood that is gatedI want a limousine that will drive me into workWhere I will get a big fat bonus” he said with a smirk.“Say it’s not true, you must be joking”I pulled out my bong and started chain smoking

I couldn’t take it any longer, I started to swoonHe’s addicted to power, another Wall street tycoonLike that’s what we needAnother Hedge Fund Manager gettin high on greedMy own DNA has become a demon seedPlundering the earth to fill his endless needsDon’t go down this path, it leads to death and destructionHe said, “Not for me, that’s not my dysfunction

I’m headed for Goldman Sachs where I will do God’s workI thought “you fuckin bastard”; really , what a jerk.He became class President, promised all kinds of shitAnd as you can image he delivered none of itGot a BS in economics and off to Harvard LawGrabbing millions of bucks with his grubby little pawsDating a super model shoving cocaine up her noseEveryday his greed just grows and grows and grows

Trading in derivatives and pushing CDO’sCounting all his millions on his fingers and his toesTry to raise your kid’s right and this is how it goesThey destroy all humanity, really frickin blowsNow I got a new dilemma - a real peachHe just bought us a home on Palm BeachDou know I love the ocean, and it’s gotta great surf breakSo now I am a hypocrite; now I’m on the take

It would be impolite to turn down this generous giftI don’t want to insult my son and get him pissedNow we live in luxury, although I really should hate itIt’s really kinda nice living in a neighborhood that is gatedThere is no moral to the story, because I’ve lost them allSelling out feels great, we are having a ball.Don’t know why I ever cared about the poor and huddled massesI’ll throw some pocket change to help the lower classes
