(Instrumental introduction)

Well, oh, well, I feel so bad today
The Republicans are threatening to have their way
They control the Congress
And want to run the U.S.A.

New York, Texas, they want their votes from you
Illinois, California, Pennsylvania, Ohio
When they get to their convention
They will let Buchanan run the show

Get lost, Newt Gingrich, I hope you lose your speakership
Hey, Pat Buchanan, quit the race and get a job
Go and join Rush Limbaugh
Try to make a winner of Bob

They want a balanced budget on the backs of the poor
And weakening environmental laws and the EPA
They're in bed with polluters
And pals with the NRA

Chorus:
They're so bad, they shouldn't run the U.S.A.
Yeah, they're so bad, they shouldn't run the U.S.A.
Everywhere you look they made our problems worst than yesterday

(instrumental solo)

'Cause they're so bad!
Yeah, they're so bad!

They're so bad, they shouldn't run the U.S.A.
Yeah, they're so bad, they shouldn't run the U.S.A.
Everywhere you look they made our problems worst than yesterday
