Kochtopus’s Garden

An origin story hatched in witchita
Feeding off the family conrnocopia
And the entitlement to dump greenhouse gases, free of charge

Gifted the world they still wanted more
Bank- rolling think tanks to start a war
To exploit ways of widening the gap bewteen rich and poor

We’re all living in the kochtopus’s garden
Global warming’s greatest hits becoming earworms
Whilst they fiddle the system and their tax returns as rome and l.a. burns

Twice a year since 2003
Hosting fill-the-war-chest donor-jamborees
Building the twenty-four-seven, three-six-five machinery

Tentacles seeding the culture wars
Like algae blooming to distract as all
So koch-rruption 101 remains invisible

We’re all living in the kochtopus’s garden
Global warming’s greatest hits becoming earworms
Whilst they fiddle the system and their tax returns as rome and the whole world burns

Buying smart a.l.e.c. scripted legislation
Spoon fed to shills to stymie regulations
Paving the yellow brick road to the supreme court

For the corporate by the koch-rrupt
For the billionaires who can’t enough
St’koch-astic terracide by any other name
