From the recording C.R. 434
Political parties aside, "We the people..." are sick of all the nonsense that happens in Washington. This song was written out of that frustration.
Lyrics
We the people are tired and sore,
We’re pretty fed up and we don’t want know more,
Of this ruling class mess they’ve established for us,
Where the wealthy and powerful abuse all our trust.
They were sent there to serve they were not sent there to rule,
So why do they do it? They think we’re all fools,
We can’t care for ourselves not one little bit,
So they do it all for us and most of its ...
Well, you get the idea
They would have us believe what they do is so tough
Give themselves big pay raises when’s enough, enough?
They bitch about Wall Street, the economy and all,
But as long as there okay they don’t care if we fall. And…
We the people are tired and sore,
We’re pretty fed up and we don’t want no more,
Of this ruling class mess they’ve established for us,
Where the wealthy and powerful abuse all our trust.
It’s not about ideals or what’s right or what’s wrong,
Power and money’s what drives them, they need to get gone
Doesn’t matter at all what kind of job they do,
Cause they’ll keep takin’ that money from me and from you.
This nation was born by spilling blood for so much less,
Why don’t they fix what’s broken? Too much work for them I guess
Doesn’t matter who you are, whether you’re red or blue,
Those S.O.B.’s in Washington have so much work to do! And…
We the people are tired and sore,
We’re pretty fed up and we don’t want no more,
Of this ruling class mess they’ve established for us,
Where the wealthy and powerful abuse all our trust.
From the President on down is who all’s involved,
We deserve what we get if we don’t get resolved.
Let’s set some term limits, tell the lobbyists get gone,
No golden fleece retirement, or it’s time you moved on. And…
We the people are tired and sore,
We’re pretty fed up and we don’t want know more,
Of this ruling class mess they’ve established for us,
Where the wealthy and powerful abuse all our trust.
