Songs for the Tea Party

Posted 26 Mar 2010 in Barack Obama, teaparty

An interesting idea by @patinbelize, who pointed out that the lyrics of the song “Sunshine” by Jonathan Edwards fit quite well when one looks at where our country is heading.

obama-frownSunshine go away today
I don’t feel much like dancing
Some man’s gone, he’s tryin’ to run my life
Don’t know what he’s asking

He tells me I’d better get in line
Can’t hear what he’s saying
When I grow up I’m going to make it mine
But these aren’t dues I been paying

(Chorus)
How much does it cost, I’ll buy it
The time is all we’ve lost, I’ll try it
But he can’t even run his own life
I’ll be damned if he’ll run mine,
Sunshine

Sunshine go away today
I don’t feel much like dancing
Some man’s gone he’s tryin’ to run my life
Don’t know what he’s asking

Working starts to make me wonder where
The fruits of what I do are going

He says in love and war all is fair
But he’s got cards he ain’t showing

(Chorus)

Sunshine come on back another day
I promise you I’ll be singing
This old world, she’s gonna turn around
Brand new bells’ll be ringing

I think another song that might work better, especially in light of this week’s unprecedented power grab by Democrats, is Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down.”

Well, I won’t back down, no I won’t back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won’t back down

Gonna stand my ground, won’t be turned around
And I’ll keep this world from draggin’ me down
Gonna stand my ground and I won’t back down

Hey baby, there ain’t no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground and I won’t back down

Well I know what’s right, I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin’ me around
But I stand my ground and I won’t back down

Hey baby, there ain’t no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground and I won’t back down
No I won’t back down.
