You Poor, Unfortunate Souls...

I have made a classic Disney song into a complete description of congress. of course, it is a remixed song. 'Poor Unfortunate Souls' from The Little Mermaid. This is the original song, so you can remember the rhythm: Poor Unfortunate Souls.


We admit that our rules in the past have been a bit bent...
they weren't kidding when they called us, well, a puppet government.
But you'll find that nowadays,
We've mended all our ways
Repented, seen the light, and made a switch. True? Yes.


And we fortunately know a bit about psychology...
it's a talent that we always have possessed
And here lately, please don't laugh
We use it on behalf
of the miserable, the lonely, and depressed...(pathetic)


Poor unfortunate souls
in pain, in need
this one longing for less taxes
this one wants to buy a house
and do we help them?
Yes, indeed....


Those poor unfortunate souls
So sad, so true
They come flocking to our building
crying, "Help us, congress, please!"
and we help them?
Yes, we do....


Now, it's happened once or twice...
someone couldn't pay the price...
and I'm afraid we had to rake'em across the coals.
Yes, we've had the odd complaints,
but on the whole we've been saints
 To those poor unfortunate souls!


(dialog)
 (Congress): so have we got a deal? (people): but if I move into the U.S.A., I'll never see my family again... (congress): But you'll have your advanced technology. Life's full of tough choices, Isn't it? Oh, and there is one more thing.  We haven't discussed the subject of payment. (people): but I don't have any-  (congress): I'm not asking much. Just a token, really.  A trifle.  What I want from you is... your freedom. (people): but without my freedom, how can I-  (congress): you'll have your games! Your online chats!  And we musn't forget the importance of idle idle chit chat while you work.


(singing again)
The workers here don't like a lot of political blabber.
They think a person who gossips is a bore.
Yes, in the U.S.A. it's quite preferred
for people not to say a word
Afterall, dear, what is idle prattle for?


Comon, they're not all that impressed with political conversation
Truly smart people avoid it when they can
But they enjoy the innocence
 from eachother's ignorance
It's he who holds his tongue that survives.


Comon, you poor unfortunate soul!
Go ahead! make your choice!
We are very busy people,
and we haven't got all day
It won't cost much
just your freedom!


You poor unfortunate soul!
It's sad, but true
If you want to enjoy the polluting vapors,
my friend, you'v got to pay the toll
Take a gulp and take breath
and go ahead and sign the papers!
(haha, now we've gottem boys!
The boss is on a roll!)


This poor unfortunate soul!
