This dude wrote a song about the past 3 years... Parts of it are totally inaccurate but I have to give him credit (eventhouugh the song is eh...) for venturing into this now dangerous field of artists voicing their own political stance. Mellencamp is probably going to get a lot of crap for this.
I was on his website and he's asking for comments about the song...the email address is at the bottom.
TO WASHINGTON
Eight years of peace and prosperity
Scandal in the White House
An election is what we need
From coast-to-coast to Washington
So America voted on a president
No one kept count
On how the election went
From Florida to Washington
Goddamn, said one side
And the other said the same
Both looked pretty guilty
But no one took the blame
From coast-to-coast to Washington
So a new man in the White House
With a familiar name
Said he had some fresh ideas
But it's worse now since he came
From Texas to Washington
And he wants to fight with many
And he says it's not for oil
He sent out the National Guard
To police the world
From Baghdad to Washington
What is the thought process
To take a humans life
What would be the reason
To think that this is right
From heaven to Washington
From Jesus Christ to Washington
