Just a rant about politics in general.  Old tune but seems things rarely change as our current situation testifies to.

NERVOUS PEOPLE CLOSE TO TEARS
SEE THEIR NEST-EGGS DISA PPEAR
GONE IN  A SINGLE FLASH
HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN
ALL THAT EFFORT
AND ALL THAT PAIN
TO MAKE A LIVIN'
AIN'T WORTH A GRAIN
OF SAND
OR SO IT SEEMS
SO NOW THEY'RE HOLDIN' THEIR COLLECTIVE BREATH
WAITIN' FOR
WAITIN' FOR A SIGN

HONEST FOLKS WHO FOLLOWED RULES
FIND THEY'RE FIGHTIN' 
SOME CLUELESS FOOLS
WHO SEEM TO THINK THEIR WAY
IS SO MUCH BETTER
AND IF WE SPEND JUST A TRILLION MORE
ALL OUR WOUNDS WILL HEAL
AND ALL OUR SOULS WILL SOAR
WE'LL FIND UTOPIA
A WORKERS HEAVEN
BUT WHILE THEY'R PUSHIN' THEIR COLLECTIVE DREAM
WE'RE TIRED OF WAITIN' FOR 
WAITIN' FOR A SIGN

BUREAUCRATS WITH TENURE 
AND FACELESS CZARS
THINK OUR TREASURE IS THEIR OWN
PARTY HACKS WITH PENSIONS 
ACT LIKE COMMISSARS
LIVE LIKE MOVIE STARS

GETTIN' READY TO BEGIN
GONNA CLEAN THIS HOUSE 
TEACH SOME DISCIPLINE
CLEAR OUT THE HALLOWED HALLS 
OF ALL THE TAKERS
I'M NO PROPHET
THAT'S A FACT
BUT I'M TIRED OF WAITIN'
THINK IT'S TIME TO ACT
LIKE WE OWN THIS PLACE
'CAUSE THAT'S THE TRUTH OF IT
PUTTIN' SOME FAITH IN THE COMMON MAN
NO MORE WAITIN' FOR
WAITIN' FOR A SIGN
NO MORE WAITIN' FOR A SIGN
