Array ( [sid] => 93472 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Lee Gal High Way Rob Bery [time] => 2005-05-06 11:25:58 [hometext] => Wanna know why Congress really passed tougher bankruptcy laws? [bodytext] => There once was a pusher
named High
Who would sell whatever
you’d buy.
Crack, heroine, or speed;
the highest price he’ll exceed,
but he’ll get you
anything that you need.
Now this pusher,
his last name was Way,
and human beings
High Way made his prey.
Though he was now
used to living regally,
He wanted his money,
but legally.

He knew this businessman
who was named Rob
who himself wanted a better-paying job.
At his pharmaceutical company,
the competition was tough,
and ten billion in profits
just wasn’t enough!

So Rob Bery he
hooked up with High.
This advice to Rob he supplied:
High said, “Rob, no price is too high!
You sell drugs that lives save,
I sell drugs that enslave.
But with medical pills,
They must pay the bill,
0r they’ll die from
whatever made them ill.”

“But, High,” says Rob,
“what you propose
is a crime.
They don’t have to pay
one more dime.
‘Cause Congress with drug prices
drew this line:
to the bankruptcy court
they will plead.
once they can’t pay for
pills that they need.”

“Now, Rob,” says High,
“Listen to what can be:
I know of a Congresswoman
who is named Lee.
She’ll pass any bill
once you pay her
law-passing fee.”

Rob says, “But, High,
the people will outcry,
and that bill
on the floor surely will die!”

High says to Rob,
“Don’t bet against me!
I’ll talk to Lee Gal
and you’ll see!
We’ve got enough change
to spread around and arrange;
the bankruptcy laws
they will change.”

So with Lee Gal
on their side,
they took the people
for a ride,
but soon with the devil
these three will abide.
For their mothers
they all took in sick.
But to their legal guns
they did stick.
And their moms couldn't pay,
and so passed away.
Motherly love was betrayed.
But the devil is waiting
for the three pushers on doomsday.
For every breath they draw in hell
they’ll have to pay,
though their wallets will be stolen
from them on doomsday.
And though bankrupt
are these three,
they’re more broke spiritually.
So with abundant glee
Satan will torture
the pushers three:
Lee Gal,
High Way,
Rob Bery.
