Indigo Girls - White House Blues Lyrics

I wrote a letter to my senator It came back "The Address Unknown" Put a call in to the President He wouldn't come to the phone Now, how in the hell can a person Feel safe and secure at home When all the decisions are being made By big boys getting stoned? -Chorus- Now, I've been listening and watching It seems like something's going to give, yeah I can't seem to find a groove Something's gone wrong around here. I took a train to the White House Wrote this song on the way Knocked at the Oval Office I was sure what I had to say They looked at me kinda funny Asked me what group I was with I said I've come on my own To represent the group that don't take no shit -Chorus- (Caroline's 3rd verse) Hey, Ronnie's taking time We know that things ain't fine Been sweating in your seat *From the weapons scandal heat You know that I love my country But how can we get ahead? Take your thumb out of my pie Stick it somewhere else instead (The girls' 3rd verse, c.1988) Now, Jimmy Swaggart is taking time We know that things ain't fine Been sweating in your seat *From the sex scandal heat Think of that woman down in New Orleans And what was in your head Did you think you could save her soul By getting into her bed? -chorus x2- Indigo Girls Lyrics White House Blues Lyrics
