Christmastime In Washington Lyrics

it was christmastime in washingtonthe democrats rehearsedgettin' into gear for four more yearsof things not gettin' worsethe republicans drank whiskey neatand they thanked their lucky starsthey said "he can not seek another termthey'll be no more f.d.r.s"i sat home in tennesseejust starin' at the screenan uneasy feelin' in my chestjust wonderin' what it meansso come back woody guthriecome back to us nowtear your eyes from paradiseand rise again somehowif you run into jesusmaybe he can help us outcome back woody guthrieto us nowi followed in your footsteps onceback in my travelin' dayssomewhere i failed to find your trailnow i'm stumblin' through the hazethere's killers on the highway nowand a man can't get aroundso i just sold my soul for wheels that rollnow i'm stuck here in this townso come back woody guthriecome back to us nowtear your eyes from paradiseand rise again somehowif you run into jesusmaybe he can help us outcome back woody guthrieto us nowsee there's foxes in the henhouseand there's cows out in the cornthe unions have been bustedand their proud red banners tornbut if you listen to the radiothey'll tell you all is wellbut you and me and cisco knowit's goin' straight to hellso come back emma goldmanrise up old joe hillthe barricades are goin' upthey cannot break our willcome back to us malcolm xand martin luther kingwe're marchin' into selmawhile the bells of freedom ringand come back woody guthriecome back to us nowtear your eyes from paradiseand rise again somehow
