"A Political Song For Screeching Weasel To Sing" lyrics
There are certain people
Who, in the name of democracy
Try to get things their own way
"Who cares if it's illegal, 'cause we won't have to pay"
And if a story should break
You're always the first one to yell, "Investigate!"
I can feel concern flowing from you
But no one's ever gonna hear the truth
The only thing you care about are the things you think are right
It might be your opinion, but it's me who has to fight
And if you really care about everybody else
Why don't you go over there and fight 'em yourself?
'Cause you know it's all a fucking game
'Cause you want that power in your name
You're bossin', pullin' a scam
To get what you want
There's always a couple of loopholes
That you can worm your way through
And if a story should break
You'll be the first one to yell, "Investigate!"
I can feel concern flowing from you
When the fuck am I gonna hear the truth?
The only thing you care about are the things you think are right
It might be your opinion, but it's me who has to fight
And if you really care about everybody else
Why don't you go over there and fight 'em yourself?
'Cause you know it's all a fucking game
'Cause you want that power in your name
Who, in the name of democracy
Try to get things their own way
"Who cares if it's illegal, 'cause we won't have to pay"
And if a story should break
You're always the first one to yell, "Investigate!"
I can feel concern flowing from you
But no one's ever gonna hear the truth
The only thing you care about are the things you think are right
It might be your opinion, but it's me who has to fight
And if you really care about everybody else
Why don't you go over there and fight 'em yourself?
'Cause you know it's all a fucking game
'Cause you want that power in your name
You're bossin', pullin' a scam
To get what you want
There's always a couple of loopholes
That you can worm your way through
And if a story should break
You'll be the first one to yell, "Investigate!"
I can feel concern flowing from you
When the fuck am I gonna hear the truth?
The only thing you care about are the things you think are right
It might be your opinion, but it's me who has to fight
And if you really care about everybody else
Why don't you go over there and fight 'em yourself?
'Cause you know it's all a fucking game
'Cause you want that power in your name
