The Lyrics
The State Of Arizona to The Obama Administration about Senate Bill 1070
Don't bother cryin', don't bother callin'
It's all over now, you did your stallin'
The trust we once felt, we don't feel anymore for you
This time we're even closin' the door for you
You clocked out, then tied us down
But we'll be well off
If you, you don't come around
Where were you when we needed you
Where were you when we wanted you
Where were you when we needed you
Where
Oh you shook us good, you tried to fight it
But it's a no brainer, you're already one sided
Tried workin' with you, but went on without you
We've spent a long time learnin' to doubt you
The days got rough, and you disappeared
And we took all the heat
But look, look who's poundin' air
Where were you when we needed you
Where were you when we wanted you
Where were you when we needed you
Where
Your song has been sung, your case has been filed
We know now that mod-es-ty, isn't your style
The last time we saw you, we found it amusing
Your view hadn't changed to, the law you're abusing
Oh times were tough, and we couldn't mate
Now you're rippin' back
But hey, hey it's too late
Where were you when we needed you
Where were you when we wanted you
Where were you when we needed you
Where
Where were you when we needed you
Where were you when we wanted you
Where were you when we needed you
Where
It's all over now, you did your stallin'
The trust we once felt, we don't feel anymore for you
This time we're even closin' the door for you
You clocked out, then tied us down
But we'll be well off
If you, you don't come around
Where were you when we needed you
Where were you when we wanted you
Where were you when we needed you
Where
Oh you shook us good, you tried to fight it
But it's a no brainer, you're already one sided
Tried workin' with you, but went on without you
We've spent a long time learnin' to doubt you
The days got rough, and you disappeared
And we took all the heat
But look, look who's poundin' air
Where were you when we needed you
Where were you when we wanted you
Where were you when we needed you
Where
Your song has been sung, your case has been filed
We know now that mod-es-ty, isn't your style
The last time we saw you, we found it amusing
Your view hadn't changed to, the law you're abusing
Oh times were tough, and we couldn't mate
Now you're rippin' back
But hey, hey it's too late
Where were you when we needed you
Where were you when we wanted you
Where were you when we needed you
Where
Where were you when we needed you
Where were you when we wanted you
Where were you when we needed you
