Do Your Damn Job (Fired Up Version)

from The Gears of Change by Escape the Clouds

/

about

A sound off on politicians that think only of protecting themselves and leave angry, disappointed constituents in their wake.

lyrics

Verse 1
You rode into office atop votes and voices
And the hope that you might make some decent choices
Now our system's broken worse than ever before.
And the ones that are paying are those on the ground floor.

Chorus
Your political game is just a crying shame.
Everything you do is just to dodge the blame
Real people hurt by your fake talk
Do your damn job or we'll fire you all.

Verse 2
I'm not just a worker. I'm a person with dreams.
Doing my best to live within my means.
You depend on us, but can we depend on you?
We do our jobs. Do we need to do yours too?

Chorus

Bridge
I'm just a working man trying to get along.
But I'm smart enough to know we need some dialogue.

Sometimes we lose and sometimes we win.
But if the game was fair we can't complain.
If life doesn't give me what I want
I won't steal from you and tell you it's your fault.

Chorus
