My good buddy Carol Denney wrote a GEM about our slimy utility here in Northern California, PG&E.

PG&E is your friend
Don't skimp on the money you send
Give us your dough though you're
Shivering and cold and then
Next month just send it again

PG&E needs your money so bad
Even though you gave them all that you had
Your little check doesn't go very far
When you buy an election, it costs you an arm
And a leg write your check and shut up

If you're confused, we can open your eyes
Come to Macdonald's and pick up some fries
Pick up a placemat and read till your eyes cross cause
Governor Davis has got some advice for you
Turn down your thermostat shut off your lights
And put on some more socks and shut up

Your little check is a joke don't you know
We need 8 billion before we pass go
We gotta make profits it's like a disease
We're the landlords we're Wall Street we're oil companies
We want you to be quiet and suck down the sleaze
So that we can get rich and keep you on your knees...
Get a clue write the check and shut up

If you didn't cash your stock options in time
Don't come to us with your bitching and crying
Our parent company's doing just fine
And we're tired of the way all you ratepayers whine
And you'll send all of your money to us over time
So get used to it - oh, and shut up
(optional chorus)

Go on and buy up our wires and our lines
We got you right where the sun never shines
You think you owe cause we've messed with your minds
And you think it's your fault if the spot market climbs
Caused you warmed up the soup or read past your bedtimes
And you'll pay till you're down to your last little dimes
Cause you're used to it aren't you shut up
(optional chorus)
