The Lyrics
Written in 1996
You better watch out
You better not pry
You better not doubt
I'm telling you why
G.O.P. is running this town
They've made a hit list
Expanded it twice
They're gonna make cuts
So take my advice
G.O.P. is running this town
They seize power when you're sleeping
Leave victims in their wake
They don't care if it's bad or good
They will cut for cutting's sake, so
You better watch out
You better not pry
You better not doubt
We're telling you why
G.O.P. is running this town
And all the greenhorns
Are beating the drums
They follow the Newt
Like little dum-dums
G.O.P. is running this town
And Mr. Bob Dole
Is aiding the coup
The Senate may vote
To cut the kids, too
G.O.P. is running this town
The Newt, Bob Dole and Phil Gramm
Will have a jubilee
They want a balanced budget by
Giving tax cuts out for free, so
You better watch out
You better not pry
You better not doubt
We're telling you why
G.O.P. is running this town
You better not pry
You better not doubt
I'm telling you why
G.O.P. is running this town
They've made a hit list
Expanded it twice
They're gonna make cuts
So take my advice
G.O.P. is running this town
They seize power when you're sleeping
Leave victims in their wake
They don't care if it's bad or good
They will cut for cutting's sake, so
You better watch out
You better not pry
You better not doubt
We're telling you why
G.O.P. is running this town
And all the greenhorns
Are beating the drums
They follow the Newt
Like little dum-dums
G.O.P. is running this town
And Mr. Bob Dole
Is aiding the coup
The Senate may vote
To cut the kids, too
G.O.P. is running this town
The Newt, Bob Dole and Phil Gramm
Will have a jubilee
They want a balanced budget by
Giving tax cuts out for free, so
You better watch out
You better not pry
You better not doubt
We're telling you why
G.O.P. is running this town
