Gimme Back My Ballots

There was a timely Lynyrd Skynyrd reference last week, and today I heard a one of their classic tunes that I thought would make a good Tea Party anthem:

Gimme Back My Ballots

Life is so strange when its changin', yes indeed
Well I've seen the hard times and the pressure's been on me
But I keep on workin' like the workin' man do
And I've got my act together, gonna walk all over you

[chorus]
Gimme back my ballots
Put 'em back where they belong
Ain't foolin' around now you’ve had your fun
Ain't gonna see no more damage done
Gimme back my ballots

Sweet talkin' RINOs gave us the run-around
Then voted enough spending to bloat a deficit around

But I'm leavin' this game one step ahead of you
And you will not hear me cry 'cause I do not sing the blues

[chorus]
Gimme back my ballots
Put 'em back where they belong
Ain't foolin' around now you’ve had your fun
Ain't gonna see no more damage done
Gimme back, gimme back my ballots
Oh, put 'em back... where they belong

Been voting for you since in my late ‘teens
Helped put you on top, and then it seems I lost my dream

But I got it back, I'm feelin' better everyday
Tell all those ballot buyers, better get out of my way

[chorus]
Gimme back my ballots
Put 'em back where they belong
Ain't foolin' around, now you’ve had your fun
Ain't gonna see no more damage done

Gimme back, gimme back my ballots
Oh put 'em back where they belong
Gimme back my ballots

  1. Timely and true. How about a winsome budget slashing song to the tune of Curtis Loewe?
