Something New Lyrics
Verse 1
Searching through the job ads I just don’t see
Companies looking for someone with skills like me
I’ve been working in Washington for oh so long
Corruption, lies and bribes is where I’m really strong
I’ve been servin in congress for over 12 years
Upgraders kicking me out is the worst of my fears
Pre-Chorus
The skillz I’ve honed here are pretty specialized
Not wanted outside of congress is what I’ve realized
Chorus
What am I going to do?
Ohhhh, Gonna have to find something new
Whyz this gotta be?
Ohhhh, Cause the Upgraders ruined it for thee
What am I going to do?
Ohhhh, Gonna have to find something new
Whyz this gotta be?
Ohhhh, Cause the Upgraders ruined it for thee
Verse 2
Lying and taking bribes is really hard to do
To be good you gotta practice a lot it's true
Pre-Chorus
The US congress is where I learned to be the best
Now no other employers want the skills I possess
Chorus
What am I going to do?
Ohhhh, Gonna have to find something new
Whyz this gotta be?
Ohhhh, Cause the Upgraders ruined it for thee
What am I going to do?
Ohhhh, Gonna have to find something new
Whyz this gotta be?
Ohhhh, Cause the Upgraders ruined it for thee
Bridge
Common sense, decency compromise
are skills I haven’t used in a while.
I’m so scared to learn these things
Gonna have to spread new wings
I hate to admit the truth
I knew these things as a youth
Chorus
What am I going to do?
Ohhhh, Gonna have to find something new
Whyz this gotta be?
Ohhhh, Cause the Upgraders ruined it for thee
What am I going to do?
Ohhhh, Gonna have to find something new
Whyz this gotta be?
Ohhhh, Cause the Upgraders ruined it for thee
Chorus
What am I going to do?
Ohhhh, Gonna have to find something new
Whyz this gotta be?
Ohhhh, Cause the Upgraders ruined it for thee
What am I going to do?
Ohhhh, Gonna have to find something new
Whyz this gotta be?
Ohhhh, Cause the Upgraders ruined it for thee
