Rod, sometimes, you don't have a clue
Rod, some things, you just don't pursue
When the FBI has been observing you
Rod, some things, you can't continue

You worked for Dick Daley in the 80s (Richard Mell's handiworking)
You did a fine, fine job learning how to buy off things here (such a student)
Now, Tony Rezko is a little risky peer (hire now, fire now)
We're gonna find this time
What the bureau knows
Then you'll have to... go

Rod, sometimes, you don't have a clue
Rod, some things, you just don't pursue (man)
Well, the FBI is coming after you
And this time, your career is screwed

Tell me you're crazy, maybe then I'll understand (tell 'em Rod, tell the truth)
You put an angry lion in a black seat... for his race
Things have gone south now, Rod, they have you now for real (buy now, bye now)
We're gonna find this time
What the bureau knows
Then you'll have to... go

(The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time
to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.)

Peculiar how you're acting as we watch your career take a fall
Peculiar how you're acting like we could not see through your lies

Rod, this time, you don't have a clue
Rod, some things, you just don't pursue (man)
Now the time has come for us to impeach you
Rod, this time, we need someone new
Well, the FBI is coming after you
Rod, this time, your whole life is... screwed
