  • Eight years of peace and prosperity
    Scandal in the White House
    An election is what we need
    From coast-to-coast to Washington

    So America voted on a president
    No one kept count
    On how the election went
    From Florida to Washington

    Goddamn, said one side
    And the other said the same
    Both looked pretty guilty
    But no one took the blame
    From coast-to-coast to Washington

    So 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 Washington

    And 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 Washington

    What 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 Writer/s: MELLENCAMP
