The Lyrics
He's got you under his thumb.
He's got too deep into debt, you see;
So steep from the start, that debt ceiling's a farce, ami.
He's got you under his thumb.
I tried so not to live numb;
I said to myself, "His healthcare **it never will so compel."
But why did I try to resist, when clearly I knew so well
That he'd get me under his thumb?
Chorus:
I sacrificed many things without fight
For the sake of having no fear, [1]
In spite of that warning voice that came from the Right
With repeated entreats ev'ry year: [2]
"Don't you know libs will rule? Blues cleverly spin.
"In your locality, wake up, choose no ballot 'D'!"
But each time I do, just the thought of coup [3]
Makes me stop, and more I succumb,
'Cause he's got me under his thumb.
[big-band instrumental break]
Chorus:
I would back 501(c)(4)s leaning right
That now quake at audits to fear; [4]
Then I.R.S. warning notice comes overnight
And defeats their appeals one more year.
Against N.S.A. tools, I'll ever be dumb.
I'm not used to the drones that peep,
Metadata on our phones they keep.
But each time I rail, just the thought of jail [5]
Makes me stop; evermore I'll be mum. [6]
Barack's got me under his thumb.
Yes, he's got us under his thumb.
