Dear Mr. Politics

from Short Comings by Rusty Joe

/

about

I wrote this song for my friends in the army, I really didn't like the fact that they were gone and I was learning more and more about the harsh truth of war through my friends. I din't agree to much on it, so I wrote a shitty song about it.

lyrics

This letter is addressed to the politics in Washington's States
If you want us all to die, you should come and join the fight
Cause it seems you don't know when to quit
You get rich by seeing us leave

(Chorus)
Well I won't stand for it, no I won't give in. If you want me to fight this war, I only fight for the poor, and you'll never have to condemn all my brothers and my friends

We shall rise and say goodbye
Call us when the war has gone by
And be sure that the next bomb to drop
Will be our revolution, our time will come

(Chorus)

If you wanna see it end, get off your high horse and just make amends
Cause the power to end life isn't better than a party on a Saturday night
PARTY ON A SATURDAY NIGHT!
La da du da da la da du da da

Ayyyyy! I'm Rusty Joe, I sing about friends, cigarettes, and being selfish. I like to sing in front of a thousand people that couldn't care less, these are my stories, and they're not as good as you might think they are.
