Lyrics
Glad we got Hussein and Bin Laden
Now let's spend some money on our own downtrodden
I'm tired of eating rice n beans
I'm out here trying to work 3 jobs, only I can't find 3 jobs to work
And this FEMA trailer's starting to make me wheeze
This is my protest song, I'm protesting everything that's wrong
With our government
From Californ-i-a all the way to Narragansett Bay
Doesn't matter who's the President
I woke up to find my old 401k
Bit the dust again yesterday
Looks like I'm retiring on RMB
New Shanghai and Los Beijing, WashingtonTaiPai and ChicagChongqing
Guess I'd better learn to speak Chinese
Chorus
Finally got my flu shot which gave me the flu
Then I got a call my insurance won't go through
So I grew a garden for my health
But the seeds my neighbor gave me grew something deemed unsavory
I can only use it if I'm going blind or going to jail
This is my protest song, insert your cause here and sing along
About our sad state of affairs
From Californ-i-a all the way to Narragansett Bay
This whole country needs repair
This is my protest song
This is my protest song
This is my protest song
So there.
