TENNESSEE WALTZ 'EM [ country/comedy ]    Tennessee politics as usual, puffin’ backroom cigars    Stung by the FBI with greedy hands in the cookie jars    Though the public rape was caught on tape but they continue to lie    Get to keep healthcare an' a pension while honest citizens die    Ford used to be a proud name stamped on American cars    Lately it’s linked to bribery an’ stuffin’ cash in drawers    Here in the Volunteer State corruption grows beyond the pale    An’ we’re lookin’ for volunteers to help waltz ‘em all off to jail    Governor Bredesen cut medicine, hung poor folks out to dry    Senator Frist just looked away, never once battin’ an eye    Though both of them got filthy rich off sick folk’s misery    As poor folks die they wallow an' lie in the lap of luxury    Frist used to be a proud name hung on a Nashville wall    Lately it's linked to hypocrisy an' a growin’ stock scandal    Here in the Volunteer State corruption grows beyond the pale    An’ we’re lookin’ for volunteers to help waltz ‘em all off to jail    Now, even if they get a handle on the Bill Frist stock scandal    An’ Ford lands in a prison ward, they’ll likely still be both worth a bundle    Ford used to stand for good wage payin' industries    An' doctors used to take care of us when we get disease    Frist kissed the HMO list while Ford sniffed the money trail    And we’re lookin’ for volunteers to help waltz ‘em all off to jail    Here in the land of the Tennessee Waltz corruption grows beyond the pale    Let’s frog-march ‘em on down the capitol steps, then waltz ‘em all off to jail * * Inspired by Nashville, Tennessee's Capitol Gang of Heathen Shame; "I will give children to be their princes and babes shall rule over them."  -Isaiah 3:4             Copyright © by Richard Aberdeen ASCAP Copyright © by Freedom Tracks Music ASCAP No part of this material may be reproduced or utilized in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including printing, photocopying, recording or by any information storage or retrieval system, without permission in writing from the publisher and signed by the author.  Inquiries: Freedom Tracks Music ~ Records, 292 Trails Circle, Nashville, TN 37214 or requested via eMail.  Essays entitled Revolution and Revolution -- Side B are open copyright and may be reproduced or utilized as often as one likes.
