The Lyrics

kerry is on glue, put his life on hold,
ran from the truth back in ninety nine,
sharpton was elected whe he pulled his stunts,
spendin his cash and he wants to take mine
mosely had amnesia, news that was old,
she looked like sixt five, as she lied,
they're no friends of mine.

those are people who tried tried
those are people who tried tried
those are people who tried tried
those are people who tried tried
they're all left ends, and they tried

Lieberman was a twit who let his gimmicks get rotten,
man he really tried this in upper manhattan,
the guy from Vietnam, who can pull apart his head,
Graham should leave disgraced from all the stuff that he's tried,
they were three more men with slime
I hate 'em they tried

those are people who tried tried
those are people who tried tried
those are people who tried tried
those are people who tried tried
they're all left ends, and they tried

wesley clark should just stay in his hotel room,
Mosely braun won't comment cause it's all bad news
several ran before and they here again
when they leave employment, on the gravy train
but Teddy , I miss you more than all the others,
one for the road, or two, my brother..

those are people who tried tried
those are people who tried tried
those are people who tried tried
those are people who tried tried
they're all left ends, and they tried

teddy went frlyin from a dry dock route,
people thought that the brakes had just gone it's true,
but teddy said, baby, can you fly,
but that girl couldn't fly, man, she died..

those are people who tried tried
those are people who tried tried
those are people who tried tried
those are people who tried tried
they're all left ends, and they tried
those are people who tried tried
those are people who tried tried
those are people who tried tried
those are people who tried tried
they're all left ends, and they tried
