Clean The House

Clean the House

We are bought and paid for and sold down the river
by the ones that we elected to keep us from that fate
We been lied to and cheated they spin every answer
keep us dumb and defeated forever in our place

Well, I think about my mama in times like these
When she got to feeling hopeless she'd roll up her sleves
She'd pull back the curtains throw out the trash
She'd scrub away yesterday and things got better fast

Cleaning House lets us start all over
Cleaning House puts the past behind
When I'm feeling like the world is on my shoulders
Cleaning House makes it better every time

You parrot the soundbites that you hear on the news
You opine all the headlines but you ain't got a clue
You've closed your mind to all but the party line
Just say no no no no no

Respect of others lost along the way
civility's a casualty self-interest rules the day
If someone disagrees with you to hate em is OK
Golden rule, just for fools what else is there to say, but

Clean the House Come on let's get crackin
Clean the House bring some new blood in
We can send those PAC men puppets packin
Clean the house let a new day begin

The road to the future goes right down the center
We find that way through work and compromise
But with that line in the sand no one's a winner
We're driving in the ditches and everybody's blind

Is anybody out there that feels like me
Is anybody out there that's ready to scream
Is there anybody out there wants this craziness to end
well send this song along to a friend

Let's Clean the House and send out a message
Clean the House raise our voices loud
We can rise like a phoenix out of this wreckage
Clean the House and save our country now
