Lyrics
MR LAWMAKER
(What Are You Gonna Do)
EVERY DAY WE HEAR OF JOBS
AND COMPANIES GOING DOWN
THE GREAT AMERICAN DREAM
IS SLOWLY COMIN' UNWOUND
THE WORKING MEN AND WOMEN
ARE BEING TOLD THEY ARE THROUGH
SOON THER'LL BE NO JOBS AT ALL
THEN WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO
CH: YES, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO
WHEN THER'S NO LAWS LEFT TO MAKE
THE BURDEN OF YOUR GOOD LIFE
WE'VE HAD ALL WE CAN TAKE
DO YOU THINK YOU CAN SURVIVE
WHEN WE LAY YOU OFF TOO
MR LAWMAKER..WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO
PROMISES GOT YOU THERE
TO WRITE AND REWRITE BILLS
BUT MOST OF THE LAWS YOU MAKE
ARE OVER HUNDRED DOLLAR MEALS
WHEN YOU SELL US DOWN THE RIVER
AND OUR GREAT COUNTRY IS THROUGH
YOU WONT BE FAR BEHIND
THEN WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO
