How We Came To Be Lyrics

Verse 1

In 1789 we began our current run

Washington began to lead this nation

No political parties was the mission

By the founders with sky high ambition

Verse 2

Jefferson, Hamilton both resigned

Countered the constitution they designed

Control by a party became the new mind

Party now required or be left behind

Chorus

No term limits

Plus no rules for parties

And a culture of me

Is how we came to be

No term limits

Plus no rules for parties

And a culture of me

Is how we came to be

Verse 3

Our nation moved forward and it worked ok

Till self-serving behavior began its decay

No term limits allowed politicians to stay

Self before country became the common way

Pre Chorus 1

200 years later these parties got the nerve

To deny the tax payers of what they deserve

Empower themselves with their actions they reserve

Pacs, Special Interest and unions who they serve

Chorus

No term limits

Plus no rules for parties

And a culture of me

Is how we came to be

No term limits

Plus no rules for parties

And a culture of me

Is how we came to be

Verse 4

Now the parties recruit you to join their war

Their fight on the news is what you can’t ignore

Filling you with fear is what they have in store

So voter turnout will be a record more 

Pre Chorus 2

Now the parties want you to think they are two

But colluding to stay in power is what they do

Locking out others so it's just their crew

Blocking ideas and faces that are new

Chorus

No term limits

Plus no rules for parties

And a culture of me

Is how we came to be

No term limits

Plus no rules for parties

And a culture of me

Is how we came to be

Bridge

Wooah, I’m confused

Wooah, So confused

Wooah, I’m not amused

Wooah, So unamused

Wooah, Power misused

Wooah, So misused

Wooah, Power abused

Wooah, So abused

Wooah, Power abused

Wooah, So abused

Chorus

No term limits

Plus no rules for parties

And a culture of me

Is how we came to be

No term limits

Plus no rules for parties

And a culture of me

Is how we came to be
