lyrics

Arrived here at Dulles with the best of intentions
The memo this morning-I read it so well I highlight
the talking points abound-mine these words for the
profound

A town car and a green room-then we
mic up and we fume...I hold my ground as they hold
theirs The blinking light there that says “on air”
goes off as I’m escorted out the door I’ve got that fix
that they know I adore The same goes for tomorrow resembling today-allowing for a good night’s sleep I’ll be so ready for this play This dance we do entre nous And
assuming these ratings hold I’ve always got a job to do

These are the incoherent ramblings of a talking
head I’ve got a fervent feeling furnace burning
fiery red Soon I’ll be lighting up a nation with
words like:

Too big to fail Market-based solutions
Let’s take our country back in this defining moment

In opposition it’s so liberating blaming the man on
top When we’re in power they’re a nuisance I’ve got
no use for their excuses Like a lawyer I can argue
from either place and it’s an art form to put you
back right back in your case Comfortably familiar
with all the faces Everyday we put each other
through the paces Just a turn of a phrase and we’re
off to the races and like a virulent strain we
maintain our stasis

Perfect Storm Wall Street versus Main Street
Outside the box Everyday Americans

My parents so proud screaming aloud as I walked
through the corridor Now with a voice so loud I
stand out from the crowd-a talented lingual whore

Poly-sci what good have you done? Polly want a
crack at this one A new chance to spin some more
“you ought to be ashamed of yourself” -and pretty
soon this act is over Then we’re all out for drinks
and dinner-these fat cats aren’t getting any thin-
ner Like fish in a barrel it ain’t no hassle and
the pay is good-when I deliver the dazzle!
Conduct unbecoming we’re so far from shunning one
another so we hammer away at this passion play day
after day And assuming these ratings hold I’ve got
a job that always pays

The fact of the matter is it is what it is what it is...At the end of the day we can certainly all agree that the working American family gives 110% Post 9-11
