Be Wary
(Sung to the tune of "Proud Mary" by Creedence Clearwater Revival)


They took the good jobs from the cities
They worked on the budget every night and day
And they never lost one minute of sleep
Worrying 'bout the way things should have been

Chorus:
Big wigs keep more earnings
Be wary of their yearnings
They sold us
Sold us
Sold us down the river

We cleaned a lot of dumps in Memphis
Dredged a lot of crap down in New Orleans
But the G.O.P. has cut the EPA
They would rather talk about welfare queens

Big wigs keep more earnings
Be wary of their yearnings
They sold us
Sold us
Sold us down the river

(instrumental solo)

They sold us
Sold us
Sold us down the river

When you've been sold down the river
Bet you're gonna find no reason to live
You will have to worry where to find some money
G.O.P. are happy to take, not give

Big wigs keep more earnings
Be wary of their yearnings
They sold us
Sold us
Sold us down the river

They sold us
Sold us
Sold us down the river

They sold us
Sold us
Sold us down the river
