To Washington lyrics by John Mellencamp
Eight years of peaceand prosperity
Scandal in the White House
Election's what we need
from coast to coast
to Washington
So America voted
on a president
No one kept count
on how the election went
from Florida to Washington
Goddamn, said one side
and the other said the same
Both looked pretty guilty
but no one took the blame
from coast to coast
to Washington
So a new man in the White House
with a familiar name
said he had some fresh ideas
But it's worse now since he came
from Texas to Washington
And he wants to fight with many
and he says it's not for oil
He sent out the National Guard
to police the world
from Baghdad to Washington
What is the thought process
to take a human's life
What would be the reason
to think that this is right
from heaven to Washington
from Jesus Christ
to Washington
