Eight years of peace and prosperity
Scandal in the White House
An election is what we need
From coast-to-coast to WashingtonSo America voted on a president
No one kept count
On how the election went
From Florida to WashingtonGoddamn, said one side
And the other said the same
Both looked pretty guilty
But no one took the blame
From coast-to-coast to WashingtonSo a new man in the White House
With a familiar name
Said he had some fresh ideas
But it's worse now since he came
From Texas to WashingtonAnd he wants to fight with many
And he says it's not for oil
He sent out the National Guard
To police the world
From Baghdad to WashingtonWhat is the thought process
To take a humans life
What would be the reason
To think that this is right
From Heaven to Washington
From Jesus Christ to Washington
