[ country/comedy ] Click Here for Free Song Download 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
