LYRICS

Daddy had a rant in the shed one night

Goin' off about federal hall

While workin' on the mower

And workin' on a bottle of rum

I passed him a socket, a nine sixteenths

With a three and a quarter inch drive

This is how it was when he was still alive

With a fire in his eye, he let out a cry

"Damn crooks in federal hall

The pricks on the hill

Dont care about you and me

I'll vote for the man

Who gathers the parties

And takes them out to sea

To dump em in the ocean

Where the rest of the garbage goes"

"I've taken time to think about it

The profiteers will raid the gold"

CHORUS

"They're fuckin' with our money son"

With my hat in my hand,

I was taking a stand

I ran for federal hall

Mad at the world and full of grim resolve

I told the old man not to worry,

Not to fret that I intended to be

A man of the people

And he'd be proud of me

Now you won't have to think about it

The profiteers won't raid the gold

CHORUS

Twenty years later

I'm a mover and shaker

And banished to federal hall

Playing two bit games

And arguing for nothing at all

Biding my time, nothing on the line

A shadow of what I should be

Now daddy's in heaven

And he ain't proud of me

I've had some time to think about it

My daddy said they'd raid the gold

CHORUS
