SuperPAC

Original Song: "Super Freak" by Rick James

It's a semi-secret fund
It's got no limits on donations
It can spend as much as it can raise
To support a candidate, hoo boy

The high court says that it's cool
Just look up "Citizens United"
Also "Speechnow vs. FEC" in oh-ten
The money's free to flow, oh no

It's really kinda wild now
(That there are Super PACs)
I guess it's true that money talks
(The system's out of whack)
The candidates all smile
('Cause there are Super PACs)
Influence for the wealthy
(Giving lots of cash)

Is this right? No not quite
Might it incite some change, yea
Hey, hey, no way

It's a Super PAC, Super PAC
It's easy money, yow

Everybody cry
Super PAC, Super PAC

Politicians love the funds
(From Mr. Burns and Scrooge McDuck)
That are managed by a PAC-man
(Not in cahoots, right)
So I guess the golden rule is "those who have gold -
Get to make the rules"
(You're not rich? You're out of luck)

With millions raised most every day
(Just watch 'em dance for the cash)
I'm sure it's all legitimate - NOT!
By election time the money's taken over
The candidates are bought

It's really pretty freaky
(That there are Super PACs)
The politicians sell themselves
(Big money's worse than crack)
It's just a case of quid pro quo
(They'll trade their votes for cash)
And who gave them the dollars?
(Kinda hard to track)

Is this right? No not quite
Might it incite some change, yea
Hey, hey, no way

It's a Super PAC, Super PAC
It's easy money, yow

All hail the king
No-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oooooh
Super PAC, Super PAC
Looks like the deck is stacked
No-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oooooh

There's a very simple view
With lots of evidence behind it
Allowing stacks of cash in politics
Makes the system more corrupt

More money!
