American Lie

A long, long time ago…
I can still remember,
Oh, the protests used to make me smile,
Cause I knew we could ram it thru,
Before they ever had a clue,
Then maybe they’d shut-up for a while.
But the protests grew and made me shiver,

Pelosi and Reid could not deliver,

Now our push for health care would have to wait Til September -

[Spoken: or October or next year]

I can’t remember if I cried,

When I heard the Right had organized,

But something told me deep inside,

That day National Health Care died.

Though I lied, lied at every townhall in sight,

Drove my Chevy cross the country tryin to put up a fight,

The good ol boys were standing right there outside,

Sayin this will be the day that it dies.

This will be the day Obama Care dies.

We were gonna run it all on our own,

But Congressmen and Senators were gettin stoned back home,

That’s not how it was supposed to be,

We used to be treated like a king and queen,

And the sweater she borrowed from LL Bean.

And my voice could part the stormy, stormy seas,

But now everytime I hit the stage,

Bigger crowds appear in fits of rage,

Somewhere down in hell,

Is where my numbers fell.

I was blown away by Barb and Buck,

And the redneck neighbors with their pickup truck,

But I knew I was out of luck,

The day that health care died.

Even though I lied, lied at every townhall in sight,

Drove my chevy cross the country tryin to put up a fight,

The good ol boys were standing right there outside,

Sayin this will be the day that it dies.

This will be the day Obama Care dies.

Even though I lied, lied at every townhall in sight,

Drove my chevy cross the country tryin to put up a fight
,
The good ol boys were standing right there outside,

Sayin this will be the day that it dies.

This will be the day Obama Care dies.

[Spoken: Uh...Would you be interested in a health care co-op?]
