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
