Politcal Graffiti

WE WOKE UP AND SAW WHAT THEY’D DONE
Written by BJ after G. W. Bush won the Texas Governors race in 1994.

Launch in external player


The polling place was opened
The ballot boxes placed
The flag was proudly hoisted
The judges took their place

The voters marched thru the door
And made the fatal punch
And fifty nine percent of us
Got turkey for our lunch

Chorus:
We woke up and saw what they’d done
They’d given us no place to run
The moral minority is now the majority
"Let’s pray" is the priority

The grandest rose in Texas
Was shaded by the bush
And brother Gingrich chanted:
I’ve got the votes to push
An amendment here a cut back there
We’ll nip it in the bud
I’ll bring on Packwood, Dole and Helms
We’ll fight you in the mud.

Chorus

So when the big day rolls around
I’ll proudly cast my vote
For hungry kids, single moms
The man without a coat
For immigrants, the air I breathe
For songs I’m free to sing
I’ll do my part to break the hold
Of the self appointed king.

Chorus
