The Lyrics
A musical comment on the ridiculous government shutdown of 2013
(SAXOPHONE INTRO)
CHORUS:
They said shutdown
Shut the government down
Be a jerk, Boehner
Be a jerk now
Tea Party's screamin'
They've taken over the Hill now
Because they wanna have a shutdown now
Because Obamacare they wanna stop
They wanna put it all on the shelf
Though their agenda lost in 2012
CHORUS: REPEAT
(SAXOPHONE SOLO)
CHORUS: REPEAT
Essential employees
House leaders hurtin' them, tryin' to bring Obama to his knees
Unless he does it their way
They'll work some feds without pay
CHORUS: REPEAT
For seniors, cryin' time
For workers, cryin' time
For poor kids, cryin' time
(SAXOPHONE OUTRO)
