The Lyrics
Written in 1996 - satire about the favorite weapon of Newt Gingrich against government programs and agencies that he didn't like - cutting the federal budget
Well, since Newt Gingrich left us
In budgetary hell
The G.O.P. insists that the
Environment is well
And maybe
If I could only, maybe
If I could only
If I could only
I would cry
What can we do about it?
He's trying to seal our doom
The EPA's his target
As he lowers the boom
And maybe
If I could only, maybe
If I could only
If I could only
I would cry
(instrumental break)
The election's in November
So tell Newt and his PAC
We'll kick them out of Washington
And hope they never come back
And maybe
If I could only, maybe
If I could only
If I could only
I would try
And maybe
If I could only, maybe
If I could only
If I could only
I would try
In budgetary hell
The G.O.P. insists that the
Environment is well
And maybe
If I could only, maybe
If I could only
If I could only
I would cry
What can we do about it?
He's trying to seal our doom
The EPA's his target
As he lowers the boom
And maybe
If I could only, maybe
If I could only
If I could only
I would cry
(instrumental break)
The election's in November
So tell Newt and his PAC
We'll kick them out of Washington
And hope they never come back
And maybe
If I could only, maybe
If I could only
If I could only
I would try
And maybe
If I could only, maybe
If I could only
If I could only
I would try
