The Ballad Of U.S. Steel lyrics

See the man with the glasses, his name is Roger (?) he went to see the president, say "hello" and rush out (?) "I got to tell you we need a small price rise" But honest John just looked at him with ice cold steely eyes U.S. Steel won't be stealing anymore JFK come to life and close the door They shovel slag on the public's back Inflation raced down the track (?) JFK paced up and down, he was very ill at ease Said "my daddy told me they're a bunch of SOBs This follow the leader pricing is cake with too much icing Adam Smith is turning over if this is free enterprising" *chorus* Then Kennedy conference it was seen all over the land The spirit of the Roosevelts was once again in command With the public on his side, well he finally turned the time And William Buckley almost comitted suicide *chorus*
