Dubb´s Talkin´ Politician Blues - Doug MacLeod

Now I got to talk about some of these politicians

Sure got my world in a sorry condition

They say one thing, but they mean another

That’s a very worrisome thing, my brother

Say they talking clear, but it sure sound hazy

Ain’t doin' nothin' but drivin' 'ol Dubb crazy

Can’t balance a budget, but can spend my money

You tell me of something goin' on funny

Sometimes I think they’re just educated fools

Ain’t doin' much to help the schools

City schools just slidin' in ruin

And sometimes I wonder, do they know what they doin'?

Would you get my BB Gun?

No, I don’t want to kill 'em

But I sure would like to hurt 'em some

Noe, to raise money they got the lottery

But that’s a lot of slippin' and slidin' if you ask me

The money’s funny and the change is strange

'Cause it ain’t nothin' but a new numbers game

Out on the streets, you know what I’m talkin' about

You see, the odds always in favor of the house

And every week you put your little twenty dollars in

And they grinnin' in your face, 'cause it so hard to win

They say the lottery was gonna help the schools

That’s what they promised it would do

But they cuttin' arts 'cause money is so tight

And I got to wonder, how do they sleep at night?

, you get my BB Gun

No, I don’t want to kill 'em

But I sure would like to hurt 'em some

We’re the richest country, but we got kids that don’t eat

Vietnam War veterans still begging the street

Politician say he got to make more cuts

But you think his salary is something he’d touch?

Health care, now that’s a mess

They ain’t done much to help that yet

Politician say, don’t' worry there gonna be better days

And I must start working on it as soon as I vote myself a raise

Now, there’s a way to get out of this joke

We need all the people to get out and vote

Don’t sit on a couch, watch the news and complain

You got to get off your butt if you gonna implement change

But in the meantime, would you get my BB Gun

No, I don’t want to kill 'em

But I sure would like to hurt 'em some

Now folks those are just my views

And you’re entitled to your views too

'Cause in America, we still got the right to choose

And that’s why I wrote «Dubb's Talkin' Politician Blues»
