A complaint directed at the various deadlock in our government over the past few years. The lies, the time wasted and especially relevant to the current Shut Down 10-1-2013. It's Outrageous.
lyrics
these words test grounds for a passing and trade
relay escaped its at it again, again
addressed with fingers clinched in a tight fist
hard to reach out to a fist
how can you bargain when all you have is this
one side lose virtue honest and swift
relay escaped its at it again, again
act out aggression equals no sense no sense
my ears are drownin' in talk that's nonsense
outrage its just an outrage yeah
outraged its just outrageous
to fight fire with fire equals fire
waste plus waste equals waste just more
talk is bricks build up walls in front of open doors
hard to reach out with hands when all you give is fists
how can we bargain when all you have is this
all you have is this
outrage its just an outrage yeah
outraged its just outrageous
I read we gotta keep spending money
there's hardly enough to feed the mouths we got
I need a way to smile that's not pretend
its a relief that politicians fake it too
all I can see the camera reveals so much
that I believe i hear the truth in pictures
well I can see it all
I can see it all
i can see it all
its outrageous yeah
its outrageous yeah
its outrageous
