Blues from the Right

Year 2012
Songwriter Unlisted Songwriter
No one ever told me When I started voting No one ever told me, Hon. They'll give you some sweet talk And tell you some big lies But if they ever get power. The far right's a two face-a neocon thing That leads you to sing The blues from the right. Neocons come callin’ Corporate tax fallin-- whooie (No one ever told me) Hope for justice fizzles While they're making missiles--whooie (No one ever told me) Ahooie, ahooi - I learned for myself The wealthy get wealth The people get the blues. Detroit to New Orleans, Seattle to Boston Whatever the city or town There's nothing but job cuts Poor schooling, poor health care Wherever I look around For since it began the neocon plan Means blues from the right
