Shut Down

Talk it up. Talk it up.
Bamma’s gonna shut it down.

It happened in the Congress where the aisle is wide.
Two stubborn parties sittin’ side by side.
Yeah, some minimalist newbees and an old machine,
A writing-up a budget and it sounds real mean.

Talk it up. Talk it up.
Bamma’s gonna shut it down.

Declinin' numbers at an even rate,
As they call the  vote  some things evaporate.
Some spending is light, the press is startin' to spin,
But the Big Government is really diggin’ in.

Gotta be cool now power shift here we go.

Budget cuts start,  winding out in low,
But Establishment interests really startin' to go.
To get the traction They must maximize pain.
Firemen-first cuts, that is Obama’s game.

Instrumental

More-bills  to the floor, but the Dems all think,
The last shut-down that happened,
caused their foes to shrink.

They remember Newt Gingrich, but it's understood,
This time it’s the Democrats, who are up to no good.

Shut it down, Shut it down, Bama’s gonna cause some pain.
Shut it down, Shut it down, Bama’s gonna cause some pain.
Shut it down, Shut it down, Bama’s gonna cause some pain.
Shut it down, Shut it down, Bama’s gonna cause some pain.
