Buritos

At the white house tonight,

you can bet they're not eating burritos

nor are they wearing dirty clothes

NO NO, NO NO, NO

'cause on Nancy's Thousand dollar gold plates

and white linen table cloths

they're being served by servants

with big dark faces,

big white teeth

and big round eyes!

But not black eyed peas

and no burritos are served to those

who wear the fancy clothes.

NO NO, NO NO, NO

on the menu for those in the silk hose

there's turkey ham and beef roast

one or all, but no burritos!

Buttered rolls and baked potatoes

all washed down by purple grapes

squished by brown toes

that they wave under their nose

before it goes down the throats of those

who never have to eat burritos

and for dessert it's American pie

a feast for the eyes of those

who can only afford to eat burritos

which they eat in the street those

Burritos.

That cheese, rice and beans called pinto.

All wrapped and salsa'd in steamed dough,

a cheap treat to eat in the street

when there's no place else to go

to eat those burritos.

In a "Christian" country

with a "Christian" President,

who feeds missile silos

and buys little green clothes

for his Rambos.

It costs lots to make those commandos

silos go.

Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars

for each missile we fired in Libya.

We may as well have had

a White House dinner with all that dough,

or bought 700,896,001.4 Burritos.

Willie Nelson with Farm AId,

Madonna with Live Aid,

Rock Hudson with real AIDS,

and Ronald Reagan with Contra Aid.

But where's the aid for those who can only afford to eat 

Burritos!
