Sort of a protest song devoted to one of my favorite past times.

Story behind the song
I just got back from six solid days of fishing in Wisconsin. Seven different lakes, 100+ fish caught, nine different species, no muskie . One of the best weeks in my life, haven't felt so relaxed for a long time. Inspired me to record this song.
Lyrics
Gone Fishin
Well I’m tired of working for a living
And giving half my money to Sam
Selling out our country for a cheaper rate
And nobody seems to give a damn
So, I’m going fishin
Let’s all go fishin
The world should go fishin
But now I’m just a wishin
Floating in a boat and sinking a line
There’s nothing else that seems as fine
Feeling that tug and landing a fish
Taking my picture and filling my dish
I don’t want to hear about change from Obama
And not sure what’s new with John McCain
Politicians promise happiness
And in the end it’s all in vain.
So, I’m going fishin
Let’s all go fishin
The world should go fishin
But now I’m just a wishin
Floating in a boat and sinking a line
There’s nothing else that seems as fine.
Feeling that tug and landing a fish
Taking my picture and filling my dish
I don’t care where Brett Favre is playing
Or who’s sleeping in Paris Hilton’s beds
To much attention to egos and money
And not enough to what goes into our heads
So, I’m going fishin
Let’s all go fishin
The world should go fishin
But now I’m just a wishin
