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
