Story behind the song
Whats happening in Wisconsin is the tip of the iceberg. Trickle down economics is what is ripping apart the fabric of American Society. Since its inception, American Society has simply suffered one defeat after another in terms of the economy for its people. If people get really really rich a lot of people have to suffer. Period. And its not just paying the deficit. Its all about taking away real voice in Government as were are seeing in Wisconsin.
Lyrics
Reagan got the trickle down
Clinton got the head
The rich they eat their money cake
WHile the poor they've not been fed.
Mama's got the babycrying
Daddys in the gin
And Reagan got the trickle down
And clintons got the chin.
Now Mama Told Papa Oh please give me a son
And pappa said to Moma Ill git whats got to git done.
aint it crazy aint it crazy
aint it crazy one day keep on rubbing on that thing.
2 elephants from Oliphant
And a southbound baptist preacher
Trashed and robbed the Sunday school
Then they killed the teacher.
Caught stretched out int he stall
Their legs all in a fit
were eating up their manhood
And the national defecit.
Now Mama Told Papa Oh please give me a son
And pappa said to Moma Ill git whats got to git done.
aint it crazy aint it crazy
aint it crazy one day keep on rubbing on that thing.
Now I went out to party
The room was all full of Tea
All the millionaires there were preaching
Said son in the land of the free
You got to take out the crosshair
You got to lock and load
and make them pay their own blood debt
like those square heads did of old.
Oh Mama Told Papa Oh please give me a son
And pappa said to Moma Ill git what got to git done.
aint it crazy aint it crazy
aint it crazy one day keep on rubbing on that thing.
Now Georgie Porgie pudding and bush
You all know what he said
That bed time for bonzo guy
Hes gone right out of his head.
His trickle down drippy drops
Will be the end I do declare
We'll all b e working overseas
In Chinese underwear.
Now Mama Told Papa Oh please give me a son
And pappa said to Moma Ill do what got to be done.
aint it crazy aint it crazy
aint it crazy one day keep on rubbing on that thing.
