Gonna take
a freight train,
Down at the station,
Lord, I don't care where it goes.
Gonna climb a mountain, the highest mountain,
But gonna jump off nobody gonna know.
Can't you see, whoo Can't you see,
What that party, Lord, she been doing to me.
Can't you see, Can't you see,
Ah what that party, she been doing to me.
The repubs, my old party lord
they just
dug us a great big hole,
I'm fallin in and I just gonna die.
We had won it all, it's a mean ol' party, Lord,
Now we got to say good by.
Can't you see, Whoo, Can't you see,
What that party, Lord, she been doing to me.
Can't you see, Can't you see,
ah what that party, she been doing to me.
I'm gonna quit that ticket now, as far as I can see,
Ain't a never coming back.
Got me a south bound, all the way to
now,
Where segregation and hurtin the poor is still the rage.
Can't you see, Lord, Can't you see,
What that party's been doing to me.
Can't you see, can't you see,
What that party's been doing to me.
W promised me low taxes lord
They promised me my freedom
From rules and regulations
They promised me freedom to go to work
They promised me all the success
The riches would trickle down
But the rich got all the riches
And unemployment is all I found
Can't you
see, Lord, Can't you see,
What that party she been doing to me.
Can't you see, can't you see,
What that party, she been doing to me.
Health care is over the roof
I'm on the hoof
There aint no car I can afford
The mortgage is all behind
And the bank aint being kind
Give that party all that I got
What I ever got was naught
Can't you
see, Lord, Can't you see,
What that party she been doing to me.
Can't you see, can't you see,
What that party, she been doing to me.
Republicans were all the rage
Delay and Army and w
They were gonna turn a
Brand new page
Kill all the commie arab bastards
Turned out to be a canard
They just lined their own pockets
Left me without a back yard
Can't you
see, Lord, Can't you see,
What that party she been doing to me.
Can't you see, can't you see,
What that party, she been doing to me.
We now have no further hope
Of stopping the socialists
No hope of stopping minorities
From takin this whole country
I am now in the minority
And I am employment free
Welfare is my only hope
I really have lost rationality
Gonna take
a freight train,
Down at the station,
Lord, I don't care where it goes.
Gonna climb a mountain, the highest mountain,
But gonna jump off nobody gonna know.
Can't you
see, Lord, Can't you see,
What that party she been doing to me.
Can't you see, can't you see,
What that party, she been doing to me.
I now have nowhere to go
The socialists now want all my money
I aint got none to give em
I'll just buy numbers for the lottery
I aint got no hopes and no dreams
The country I was promised
Is floatin down that old stream
The repubs promised so much
And they just ran out of steam
Can't you
see, Lord, Can't you see,
What that party she been doing to me.
Can't you see, can't you see,
What that party, she been doing to me.
