lyrics

Standing at the station, catching up on News
Unemployment, wars abroad, nothing's really new
From Buffalo to Washington.

Still Everyone's complaining, from Trump to Average Joe,
But what's the use when the lobbyists run this puppet show
From California to Washington.

Obama's in the White House beating on his chest
Reagan's in the graveyard, trying to get some rest
But they'll drag him out all across the land

Let's have a tea party, a little you and me party.
Occupy my queen size, sideways and lengthwise
I promise I won't clear you out in the middle of the night. Ohhhh

The Ocean's full of plastic, the weather's getting strange
Politicians keep their eyes on which maps to rearrange
From Portland Oregon to Portland Maine.

The labor laws in China would make a good man weep
But everything is fine and good if we get our iPods cheap
From Chesapeake to Washington.

Obama's in the White House, trying not to cuss
Romney's got his little doggy strapped up on the bus,
From Michigan to Washington.

Let's have a tea party, a little you and me party.
Occupy my queen size, sideways and lengthwise
I promise I won't clear you out in the middle of the night. Ohhhh

Monsanto's in the farmfield, don't know what's on my plate
Children fat on Burger King, don't know just what they ate
From the Golden Gate to Washington

There's some Flouride in my water, there's some Xanax in my veins,
Numbing down the populous, dumbing down our brains.
From Great Plains to Washintgton.

Gas prices soaring, recovery is slow
The Black Eyed Peas make me sick, but they're on the radio
From Buffalo to Washington.

Primary, caucus, they smile and sweet talk-us
Gerrymander, pandering, underhanded slandering,
I just can't stand it anymore. Ohhhhh

Obama's in the white house, staring at the polls
The Gipper's in his grave and he's getting set to roll
From Buffalo to Washington.

From Buffalo to Washington.
