Christmastime In Washington lyrics

It was christmastime in washington

The democrats rehearsed

Gettin into gear for four more years

Of things not gettin worse



The republicans drank whiskey neat

And they thanked their lucky stars

They said "he can not seek another term

Theyll be no more f.d.r.s"



I sat home in tennessee

Just starin at the screen

An uneasy feelin in my chest

Just wonderin what it means



So come back woody guthrie

Come back to us now

Tear your eyes from paradise

And rise again somehow

If you run into jesus

Maybe he can help us out

Come back woody guthrie

To us now



I followed in your footsteps once

Back in my travelin days

Somewhere I failed to find your trail

Now Im stumblin through the haze



Theres killers on the highway now

And a man cant get around

So I just sold my soul for wheels that roll

Now Im stuck here in this town



So come back woody guthrie

Come back to us now

Tear your eyes from paradise

And rise again somehow

If you run into jesus

Maybe he can help us out

Come back woody guthrie

To us now



See theres foxes in the henhouse

And theres cows out in the corn

The unions have been busted

And their proud red banners torn



But if you listen to the radio

Theyll tell you all is well

But you and me and cisco know

Its goin straight to hell



So come back emma goldman

Rise up old joe hill

The barricades are goin up

They cannot break our will

Come back to us malcolm x

And martin luther king

Were marchin into selma

While the bells of freedom ring



And come back woody guthrie

Come back to us now

Tear your eyes from paradise

And rise again somehow
