Change Program

when with the young, I'd say that change is coming
when with the old, I'd say that change will stop
when with the poor, I'll say here's your pastrami
when with the rich, I'll say there is no top

with the believer, I shall pray to heaven
and with the heathen, say there is no hell
and to the gambler, wish for only seven
and for the wiccan, here's your magic spell

if you are weak, I'll say there's strength in numbers
if you are strong, I'll say more power, man!
if you are slow, I'll say everyone lumbers
if you are fast, I'll say you beat the plan!

if you need help, I'll say around the corner
if you give help, a nice ribbon will do
if you are grieving, I'm a heartfelt mourner
if you're aggrieved, I'll say go on and sue

In short I'll be like every politician
I'll say that I am focused on the mission
and when at last, I'm sitting on my own
I'll focus on not being overthrown
