The Unwinding Songtext
von Leslie Fish

Oh, bring me my usual, Charles, what a day this has been
Citizens′ groups are camped out on my doorstep again
They're yelling they want all pollution cleaned up yesterday
Lord, I many have to call out the army to chase ′em away
How I wish they'd go away or shut up or die

Now ITT wants me to put down some labor dispute
Perhaps I should just send the troops out with orders to shoot
Can't the fools see it′s their jobs if that company fails?
Now your average slob just can′t understand business details
How I wish they'd go away or shut up or die

Yeah, bring me another, those critics are driving me mad
They say we′ve got too many laws, the whole system's gone bad
They bitch of excessive policing then whine about crime
Hell, why′d they elect me then, come around wasting my time?
How I wish they'd go away or shut up or die


Ah, make that a double; I swear I am fed up to here
Hell, if citizens ran it, the world would go broke in a year
They claim we′re controlling too much and we're doing it wrong
Do they think that the country could run by itself very long?
How I wish they'd go away or shut up or die

Anybody else here ever come from Chicago, ever live in Chicago?
Then you′ll understand
I′m probably still voting there, yep

Since they're giving me ulcers it′s fair I should see them all hanged
Yeah, declare some emergency, draft 'em for forced labor gangs
If those nattering mobs can′t see reason
Well they'll understand force
Pbhat- what′s in this drink, Charles?
It tastes like it came from a horse
Yuck! Uhuh
How we wish you'd go away or shut up or die, shut up or die
We wish you'd go away, shut up, or die
