The Lyrics
Written in 1996, about the Republican cutting of the federal budget as a political football against President Clinton, culminating in an 18-day shutdown of the federal government
(instrumental intro)
Knockin' around the budget bill
Won't the Grand Old Party stop?
Missiles are built that we don't need
The environment gets the slop
Knockin' around the budget bill
Is a mean-spirited thing
Letting the social programs die
While the funds are narrowing
Gingrich hates the sentimental liberals, but he fears
He will lose through his own folly
He wrecked the fall in one big volley
Knockin' around the budget bill
Near the federal holiday
If they get furloughed, this time they may not
Get retroactive pay
(instrumental break)
Gingrich hates the sentimental liberals, but he fears
He will lose through his own folly
He wrecked the fall in one big volley
Knockin' around the budget bill
Near the federal holiday
If they get furloughed, this time they may not
Get re-tro-act-ive pa-a-ay!
