Intro

      

Verse 1

Eight years of peace and prosperity
Scandal in the White House
An election is what we need
From coast-to-coast to Washington

Verse 2

So America voted on a president
No one kept count
On how the election went
From Florida to Washington

Verse 3

Goddamn, said one side
And the other said the same
Both looked pretty guilty
But no one took the blame
From coast-to-coast to Washington

Verse 4

So a new man in the White House
With a familiar name
Said he had some fresh ideas
But it's worse now since he came
From Texas to Washington

Verse 5

And he wants to fight with many
And he says it's not for oil
He sent out the National Guard
To police the world
From Baghdad to Washington

Verse 6

What is the thought process
To take a human's life
What would be the reason
To think that this is right
From heaven to Washington
From Jesus Christ to Washington
