This song is merely a sketch, and references some of the worst insults to decency of the previous administration, such as a lust for torture they never even tried to disguise, but the idea is still valid. The very richest people in the world are controlling our politicians, and the party they control the most is the Republican party. They are intent on taking this country back to the plutocrat days of the 1880s at any cost, and are spending tons of money and using their near-total media influence to bring about the complete subjugation of the American worker to their agenda of increasing their already obscene wealth from most of the money in the economy to all the money in the economy.
The real crisis in America is that nobody cares about their paychecks. Instead they mostly care about proving someone else wrong about their views on things completely unrelated to their paychecks. In France they are fighting to the death for the right to retire at 60 instead of 65, while in America people are completely indifferent if grandmothers are eating cat food in slums or required to work into their nineties as long as Glen Beck keeps them distracted with his apocalyptic fantasies. As if anyone can even get a decent job if they are over forty these days. Wise up, fools!
It's a crappy song because no one I respect has ever bothered to try to help me edit it down, which it needs. Plus, I wanted to do the song in a waltzy 3/4 time but I couldn't figure out how to do that recording on the computer. So if anyone out there wants to help me finish this song, I would love some help!
Republican Bosses
They lie and they cheat
and they rob and they steal
our Republican bosses today.
They give you a job
then they take it away
because that’s the Republican way.
They fire you and cheat you
deny you and use you
Republican bosses that say:
That they control everything
all of the money and
guess who they’re not gonna pay?
They own you, they use you,
deny you and charge you
for everything that should be free.
They think that they’re better
than everyone else,
and they think that they’re
better than me.
They wheel and they deal
and insist that it’s real,
these Republican liars today.
They’ll give you insurance
and take it away
because that’s the Republican way.
We just got to fire these
Republican bosses;
we just got to throw them away.
We gotta get rid of them.
sue them. disarm them;
then down in Guantanamo Bay
we’ll give them the treatment
they gave to those Muslims,
and ask if they’d rather decline
to define what is torture,
and what is illegal;
to finally make up their mind.
They’re not paying taxes,
don’t cover their asses
and hiking up CEO pay.
They lie and they cheat
and they rob and they steal,
and they smirk that Republican way.
As if they all know that
we know that they screwed us.
As if it will all be OK.
We just got to fire these
Republican bosses,
we just got to throw them away.
Blame it on politics
blame it on government
blame it on cable TV.
Blame it on spin
you can’t even begin
to uncover the lies that we see.
But we’ve got the votes,
the one thing that they fear
and we’re going to vote them all out.
We’ll vote them all out
on the streets and we’ll show them
what poor folks is really about.
We’ll take back our government
take back our laws and
take back all the rights of the free.
We’ll turn back the clock
to when a corporation
was less than a person like me.
We’ll tear down their privilege
expose all their exploits
and drain all their bank accounts dry.
We’ll build a new country
where people who work
are as good as some CEO guy.
They lie and they cheat
and they rob and they steal
our Republican bosses today.
They give you a job
then they take it away
because that’s the Republican way.
They own you, they use you,
deny you and charge you
for everything that should be free.
They think that they’re better
than everyone else,
and they think that they’re
better than me.
