i wrote a letter to my senator
|
came back address unknown
|
put a call in to the president
|
he wouldn't come to the phone
|
now how in the hell can a person
|
feel safe and secure at home
|
when all the decisions are being made
|
by big boys getting stoned
|
|
now i've been listening and watching
|
looks like somethings caught in the gears
|
i can't seem to find a groove
|
there's something going on around here
|
yeah
|
|
so took a train to the white house
|
wrote this song on the way
|
i knocked at the oval office
|
i sure of what i had to say
|
well they looked at me kind of funny
|
asked me what group i was with
|
i said i come on my own to represent
|
the group that don't take no shit
|
|
now i've been listening and watching
|
looks like somethings caught in the gears
|
i can't seem to find a groove
|
there's something going on around here
|
yeah
|
|
what's wrong in the company
|
words been going down
|
he's jepardizing the future
|
so he can get what he wants right now
|
said level the mountains for gold
|
fill up the sea with iron
|
what the hell jesus is coming
|
and the waiting is making me tired
|
|
now i've been listening and watching
|
it looks like somethings caught in the gears
|
i can't seem to find a groove
|
there's something going on around here
|
|
hey mr. nunn sir
|
please tell me this
|
why do you boys engage
|
in pornographic bliss
|
up and down to boulevards
|
of military towns
|
t & a and cheap hotels
|
for them to throw down
|
it's a release they say
|
it's the american way
|
it's not a soldiers preference
|
that makes him wrong or right
|
it's how he lives and how he acts
|
that makes him serve his country right
|
|
now i've been listening and watching
|
it looks like somethings caught in the gears
|
i can't seem to find a groove
|
there's something going on around here
|
yeah
