whether the.... that phrase is used to lay out a political view, hitting a lot of bases, one liners, each succinctly raising an issue. The chord patterning reflects my growing interest in the music side of things.

lyrics

Whether the wages for labor are to be low
whether the free press is faithfully in tow
whether the bottom line is profit or loss
whether the legislator remembers who's boss

chorus:
In whose special interest are these?

2.
whether the trees are to be clear cut clear to the bone
whether the earth is commodity or home
whether the leaders have integrity or are knave
whether the people are free or slave - chorus

3.
whether the poor will live and die on the edge
whether the rich will expand their privilege
whether for all of the fine high rhetoric
whether we all will choke on what we've spent - chorus

4.
whether the races will heal or rupture
whether the women will speak without interruption
whether the prisoner will be abused
whether the cursed money drug will rule

in whose special interests are these?
