have you had enough

WHERE WAS I when this song came out a year ago? Driving to the Beaudoin gig in St Johnsbury VT yesterday, I heard this on the radio. Man, I thought, she sure sounds like a carbon copy of Rickie Lee Jones. And this groove is funky, rough, old time swing, something I oughta know?… turns out it’s a re-written Squirrel Nut Zippers tune. Maybe I can get the band to learn it for next weekend? Can’t be too political. For all the years I didn’t even pay attention to the world, I owe.
Rant#1–Somebody please tell me why we continue with the electoral college. It seems this move called “the election reform bill” simply means that people want the electoral vote to accurately represent the popular vote. What am I missing here? What was the real purpose of the electoral college? Anyway…
Have you had enough of hypocrisy?
Have you had enough of the spending spree?
Have you had enough?
Does it make you want to scream and shout?
Have you had enough of the rubber stamps?
Have you had enough of the wire taps?
If you’ve had enough, then it’s time to throw the rascals out!
We’ve let them take the test too long
They’ve gotten all the answers wrong
No plan, no shame, no oversight
Now’s the time to put it right!
Have you had enough, cause they’re all corrupt?
Have you had enough of being divvied up?
If you’ve had enough, then it’s time to throw the rascals out!
Well, do what’s right and spread the word
It’s time to make our voices heard
You cast your vote it don’t cost a dime
Sittin’ it out will be a crime
I’ve had enough, and it’s time to throw the rascals out!
