Lay Down Your Earnings
Lift me up
*Lift your dollars High*
Raise up your low addictions
I sell lies, I sell lies
Though you will not see it here
I AM Holier than the DOW....
Betrayed only by mortal pain
I know what a penny is
And I know what I'm worth.
*Lift your dollars High*
If you want insurance for the afterlife
DO MY PROFITS NO HARM
OR I'LL RAISE YOUR PREMIUM
I'm noxious in the rooms you praise me in
Like a gas in the air
Wave me in
They don't really love me THEY pretend
Soulless as the faces they pay me in
*LIFT YOUR DOLLARS HIGH!*

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
