Talking Tea Party Blues
April 15 2009 - Jim Herrmann
Just the other day I saw my friend Joe I said to him Joe whadda you know He said I'm going down in my station wagon Gonna do me some tea bagging I said to him Joe I don't think it's the place To tell me bout your scrotum in someone's face He said no, no, no taint that at all You see I'm a going down to city hall I'm tired of paying all this here taxation Without having none of that representation I'm mad as hell I guarantee So we're gonna have us a tea party I said oh, like those liberals up in Boston He said huh?
I think you refer to that Boston Tea Par-ty The one back in seventeen seventy three That happened when the crown cut taxes And the sons of liberty took up axes They were afraid the East Indy Company Would soon have a sure monopoly In a peaceful protest they dumped the tea Which at that time was revolutionary So actually what they were against Was unfair trade and corporate largess So tell me again what you're trying to accomplish By dumping tea bags in the halls of congress That old tea party sure sounds progressive to me He said huh? I said yes our founders were progressive.
He said that fascist socialist Hussein Obama Is gonna raise taxes on my momma Take away my guns and religion too And let all the gays sleep with you He's gonna free all those people on crack And besides all that, have you noticed, the man is black I said I see what you mean He said "you do"? I said "yes Joe, I see exactly what you mean."
I said you've been listening to too much Rush Seems to me your brain has turned to mush I don't know what you think you've been sold But it's racist hate if the truth be told You see it's not Obama that you should hate It's the corporate empire controlling our state Focus your anger on the real evil here Don't mis-direct it out of fear If your ideas aren't being selected Work your ass off and get elected As it stands now with the party of no If I were you I'd tell them where to go He said I think I see what you mean I said you do? He said yep, I think you're right I said Huh!?
