I went to a party with my girl in the city
On election night
I was hoping that we gonna make a move to the left
But we gone and made a swing to the right
Now I'm singing the blues for the country
As we move into another long night
gonna catch that plane and fly by (Catch that plane and fly)
Gonna sail on the next high tide
Just to get away from that cocksucking motherfucker
( sus2)
Darkening my mind
I stood in the corner throwing glances at the TV
ripped the label off a bottle or nine
Some sucker rolled up in a beemer trailing streamers
And I nearly got into a fight
I said you're making a fool of the country
holding hands with the Christian right,
And I turned to my girl and I cried
Gonna jump that train and ride by (Jump that train and ride)
Sail on the next high tide
Just to get away from that cocksucking motherfucker
Playing on my mind and darkening our times
Cocksucker, motherfucker
Cocksucker motherfucker
Well all of a sudden I got something to say
I buried my head but it wouldn't go away
I sat around waiting for a brighter day
But the bad stuff's coming when the good do nothing it's true
So what am I gonna do?
Gonna backpack through Peru (Backpack through peru)
Gonna work for a time on a farm in Timbuctoo, To get away from those
Cocksucking motherfuckers
Playing on my mind To get away from those
Cocksucking motherfuckers
Darkening our times.
Cocksucker, motherfucker
Cocksucker motherfucker
