lyrics

The mailman came by
With a look in his eyes
Nothing but bills for you
So I mailed out a note
And this is what I wrote
No joke
From me to you.

Congressman,
Won't you be a man?
Fight for the working man, too?
Just say no,
Don't you sell your soul,
Stand up and fight like a man.

I got a letter you see
Straight from D.C.
With a coupon for a washing machine
They told me to buy
With all of my might
This county is counting on me.

So I went out and I bought
The machine that I thought
Was the best that money could buy.
But lo and behold
I was told
That the CEO of General Electric
Was none other than your congressman
And mine
That dirty rotten guy

Congressman,
Won't you be a man?
Fight for the working man, too?
Just say no,
Don't you sell your soul,
Stand up and fight like a man

Fight for the working man, too.
