What Else Is New?

Strum your guitar and sing along!...

 

When the Republicans control our Congress,

What will that portend?

Good news for the rich; bad for the poor.

What else is new, my friend?

 

We hope that our leaders support the people.

Of course, that will depend

On how much YOU "support" your leaders.

What else is new, my friend?

 

It's sad how people use their religion

To allow them to defend

Their right to take away rights from others.

What else is new, my friend?

 

To avoid a government shutdown some members

Of Congress will not bend

From socking it to the hard-working people.

What else is new, my friend?

 

People point out that our economy

Is certainly on the mend.

Of course, the President receives no credit.

What else is new, my friend?

 

The damage that Congress can do to the people

Is hard to comprehend.

But they've screwed us before and they'll do it again.

What else is new, my friend?

 

To help maintain our infrastructure,

That means we have to spend.

To some people that's anathema.

What else is new, my friend?

 

Apathy among the American voters

Is a continuing trend.

No wonder we’re stuck with numbskulls in Congress!

What else is new, my friend?

 

A man over there holds a sign that says

The world is going to end.

That's been said for 2,000 years.

What else is new, my friend?

 

What else is new?

What else is new?

What else is new, my friend?
