In light of Mitt Romney's cheery bon mot that "corporations are people too" and Rand Paul's gleeful endorsement of this heartwarming philosophy, it's time for Mitt Romney to release a new campaign song based on the words and music of Up With People (see clip below if you're not familiar with them).
So I took a stab at a first draft for Mitt and Rand:
It happened just this morning
I was walking down the street
The waste dump and the oilspill
And refinery I did meet
There in every window
At every single door
I recognized business
I'd never noticed before
Up, up with Exxon
You pay 'em wherever you go
Up, up with Exxon
They're the best kind of folks we know
If more people were for Exxon
All people everywhere
There'd be a lot less people to worry about
And a lot more profits out there
There'd be a lot less people to worry about
And a lot less money to share
Business from the Southland
And business from the North
Like a mighty army
I saw them coming forth
'Twas a great reunion
Befitting of a king
Then I realized Exxon
Was a lot more important than things
Inside everybody
There's some bad and there's some good
But don't let anybody
Start attacking corporatehood
Love them as they are
And fight for them to be
Great profit and great greed
As God meant them to be
