Protest song, 2004

(With apologies to Robert Zimmerman)

How many tax breaks can a City Council give
A Pearl District condo tower scam?
How many years will some rich doctors whine
Before we build them a tram?
Yes and how much more dirt will they dig up on Neil
Before he’s again on the lam?

The answer, my friend
Is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

How in the world can a high-tech billionaire
Declare he’s in bankruptcy?
How many moves will an archbishop make
To not pay the priestly molestees?
Yes and how many Texas robber barons will it take
To rape and pillage PGE?

The answer, my friend
Is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

How many dollars can a candidate spend
And still never get to be mayor?
How many times can he screw up his campaign
Before it hasn’t got a prayer?
Yes and how many voters will decide who to choose
Depending on which candidate’s gayer?

The answer, my friend
Is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

That's hilarious. Although I don't think the last paragraph's going to help Sam Adams....
