lyrics

to the tune of Ye Jacobites By Name

Am C G
You congressmen by name, lend an ear, lend an ear
Am G Am
You congressmen by name lend an ear
C G
You congressmen by name, your faults I will proclaim,
Am C G
Your actions I will blame, you will hear, you will hear
Am G Am
Your actions I will blame, you will hear

You send away the poor to your wars, to your wars
You send away the poor to your wars
You send away the poor, is oil worth the gore?
We'll fight for you no more, one day soon, one day soon
We'll fight for you no more, one day soon

You Senators by name, lend an ear, lend an ear…

The despot you refuse, to impeach, to impeach
The despot you refuse, to impeach
The despot uses you, while the laws he does abuse
and on your hands you sit, idly by, idly by,
while on your hands you sit, idly by

Republicans by name, lend an ear, lend an ear…

You privatize away, what is ours, what is ours,
You privatize away, what is ours
You privatize away, and then you make us pay
But we’ll take it back some day, one day soon, one day soon
We’ll take it back some day, one day soon

You president by name, lend an ear, lend an ear…

You wanna build a wall, around these states, around these states,
You wanna build a wall, around these states
You wanna build a wall, but you cannot cage us all
Your empire will fall, one day soon, one day soon,
Your empire will fall, one day soon

You government by name, lend an ear, lend an ear...
