How high's the batshit, Mama?
Two feet high and risin'
How high's the batshit, Papa?
She said, two feet high and risin'
It's eaten our shoes and ruined our socks
It gets deeper every time our Congressman knocks
And I think there'll be more if you turn it to Fox
Two feet high and risin'
How high's the batshit, Mama?
Three feet high and risin'
How high's the batshit, Papa?
She said, three feet high and risin'
It smells bad enough it could murder a goat
And it's makin' it harder to keep us afloat
But there's nobody honest for whom we can vote
Three feet high and risin'
How high's the batshit, Mama?
Four feet high and risin'
How high's the batshit, Papa?
She said, it's four feet high and risin'
It's so goddamn senseless it'll boggle your brain
But the pundits and the PACs have got it fallin' like rain
One-half of our government's completely insane
Four feet high and risin'
How high's the batshit, Mama?
Five feet high and risin'
How high's the batshit, Papa?
She said, it's five feet high and risin'
They'll push this country on over the brink
Just so they can tell us all what we should think
And the Dems won't do nothin' to get rid of the stink
Five feet high and risin'
The batshit's five feet high and risin'...
(... but don't ask how DEEP it is...)
