Another Unbelievable Week on Capitol Hill

By Wednesday's hearing, lines are drawn, upon the sun-scorched Capitol lawn
0:12
A bill is passed, a veto's threatened, a lesson that we'll never get in
0:19
The talking heads, a chorus line, who swear that everything is fine!
0:25
Oh, who on earth has penned this script? The plot is thin, the logic's stripped!
0:31
We sing the lines with wide-eyed shock, a weekly, state-of-nation shock!

And we just pray the curtain falls upon this madcap, free-for-all!

1:35
And we just pray the curtain falls upon this madcap, free-for-all!
1:41
Is there a writer in the wings? Who pulls these legislative strings?
1:47
We look for meaning in the text, completely, hopelessly perplexed!
1:54
The understudies weep with dread, for all the nonsense that they've read!
2:00
And the audience just stares ahead... and wonders when we'll get to bed!
2:06
Oh, who on earth has penned this script? The plot is thin, the logic's stripped!

We sing the lines with wide-eyed shock, a weekly, state-of-nation shock!
