Talk about a rip-off
The gas prices are ridiculous,
In a matter of 24 hours
It jumped up about 10 cents.

It really makes me sick
How gas stations battle for business,
Some places are much higher than others
I really think they're spineless.

You can't go for a drive now-a-days
Without paying through the nose,
Our government, as far as I'm concerned
Should be beaten over the heads with the gas pump hose.
