Story Behind The Song
One day while at work painting, the person next door had Rush Limbaugh on the radio loud enough for the whole neighborhood to hear and his right to play his radio and my right not to have my brain subjected to an involantary brian-wash came into conflict.

Lyrics
verse#1
theres' a talk show on my radio
I guess they know
The way things oughta be
But in my time i've come to find
Advice is all i'm getting for free
They're pleading their case
On cyber-space
Homer hold the phone
Its one more brain dead dido head
With no mind of his own
Chours
Oh baby please dont leave me now
Im thinking maybe
We can get through this somehow
I sure dont know who
They're trying to fool
Except maybe Rush Limbaugh
Its got me sitting under a sky of blue
Waiting for the rain to fall
Yodell
Verse2
All the consumers and baby boomers
Are recycling dinosaurs's
7/11's are open 24/7
And they're super sizing the stores
Were on a bender
With our legal tender
Gonna spender while we can
Buy 'em even if you dont need 'em
Buy your way to freedom
Be a patrotic man
Chours
Oh baby
Please dont go
Im thinkin maybe
Things will be a little better tommrrow
I sure dont want to
Sit here and stew
Least it get stuck in my craw
Its got me sittin under the sky of blue
Waitin for the rain to fall
Bridge
Hunny please dont cry
It not good when daddys lie
Pay no heed to what they say
Close your eyes
And let your dreams take you away
Verse3
Its a fact
That rats get fat
While good men and women die
You see it everywhere
Life aint fair
The lord knows that we try
It seems once more
The dogs of war
Are fixing for a feast
They're about 6,000 miles off shore
And rolling in from the East
Chours
oh baby
Baby please dont go
Im thinkin maybe
Things will look a little better tommrrow
All this hullabaloo
Is desinged to drive you right up a wall
Its got me sittin under a sky of blue
Waitin for the rain to fall
Yodell
