The Lyrics

My first attempt at a series (great James Bond Month, Dylan!) will be called "Christmas In July". No blasphemy is intended...it's because carols are easy, accessible, and known to most. Hopefully, this will give Chris Matthews a "Kringle" right up his leg. ;D



O clueless town of Washington,
You choose to ignore our hurt.
To your great shame you just fix blame
And only hurl slime and dirt.
The country's broke - there's no work.
Yet you don't see our strife.
For all you there have just one care:
To hold your jobs for life.

One side wants smaller government.
Less spending and tax they pitch.
The others blare for class warfare:
Let's soak all those evil rich!
Two policies in conflict
And none will give an inch.
Yet while you pose you won't see those
At home caught in a pinch.

'Though things are swell in Washington,
Outside there is much despair.
You've got it made, you're highly paid
With good jobs are free health care.
The country's in a ferment.
You'd better heed the call.
Don't be remote, for when we vote
We'll just say "Screw 'em all"!



;D

Sorry for the late reply---didn't think would post on the Holiday! At any rate, your skills are stropped to a fine hone (not Sheen!) and your laser-like focus never fails to grab one by the halls of power! Lexcellent!

We don't need term limits, we need recall. Send 'em all packing before they can do any more damage. Straight to jail, do not pass GO, do not collect fat pension.
