What was it? I re-discovered this gem last night in a vain attempt to sort out (ha!) a crate of old recordings. 'Scuse me, but I gotta go pack my bags now.... THE MUSTANG RANCH ©1996 cosyng music/BMI I want to work at the Mustang Ranch With the financial crisis I've got a chance To be a civil servant in my birthday suit Well-insured in my ill-repute The savings and loan that owned it had to fold Look what's in the hand the government holds See how your tax dollars are spent Come on out and stick it to the government I won't ask what my country can do for me I'll do it for them I won't do it for free Its a budget solution that finally fits Lie back and think of the deficit I'm going to get the Mustang back on it's feet And stay off mine till the job's complete Help Uncle Sam pay all of the bills While I learn the world's oldest sellable skill Chorus: Here's a solution Newt hasn't thought of yet Come do the Big Nasty for the national debt I'm going to put one hand over my heart Pledge allegiance with my private parts Bring us all your budget problems Here at the Mustang we love to solve them I'm going to get the Mustang out of the red It's community service like the President said It's a natural resource no one's protecting A grazing fee they're not expecting This is equity it's public land It's money on the bush and a bird in the hand In the land of the brave the home of the free Come on out and play with your currency Chorus: Here's a solution Newt hasn't thought of yet Come do the Big Nasty for the national debt Can't you hear his marketing campaign We've got unwed mothers, they're already trained Come out where even the waste is hot The weather is dry, the women are not We're the place to clean your gun We solve welfare and we have fun We're the Contract on America And we've only just begun |

The problem is that the powers that be would not only have to hear them but also receive them which is slightly different and far less likely! A |
