Inauguration Day
by Bow Thayer (
download song)
Alarm bell rings at six o’clock, outside it’s cold and gray
Ain’t no point gettin’ up this mornin’, it’s inauguration day
It’s inauguration day
God looked down from heaven just to see what he could find
He found a burnin’ Bush in the White House, just about blew his mind
For the second time
Did you get your invite to the billion dollar bash
I wish I had a nickel for each ballot in the trash
Oh, ballots in the trash
-- Chorus --
I don’t know why it’s cold and gray
Inauguration day, it’s inauguration day
Grammar school teacher, mother of three
Pack a lunch, grab a gun, we’re goin’ overseas
Oh, goin’ overseas
Collaterals in Bagdad, but it don't hit the fan
U.S. weekend warriors are lyin’ in the sand
Oh, dyin’ in the sand
Reds’ll claim the nation, blues’ll weep and mourn
The rich will still vacation where it’s safe and warm
Oh where it’s safe and warm
-- Chorus --
’Cause I don’t know why it’s cold and gray
It’s inauguration day
-- Instrumental Bridge –-
-- Chorus --
’Cause I don’t know why it’s cold and gray
It’s inauguration day, it’s inauguration day
Al-Jazeera, MTV, Fox on the news
The forecast is a snow job, Dan Rather sings the blues
He sings them headline blues
I ain’t no political analyst, but as far as I can tell
These four years might not be so bad if I don’t get blown to hell
If I don’t get blown to hell
The alarm clock rings at nine o’clock
Outside it’s cold and gray, ain’t no point in getting’ up this mornin’
It’s inauguration day, it’s inauguration day
The alarm clock rings at ten o’clock
Still outside it’s cold and gray, ain’t no point in getting’ up this mornin’
It’s inauguration day, it’s inauguration day, inauguration day
-- Chorus --
Cause I don’t know why it’s cold and gray
It’s inauguration day, it’s inauguration day, it’s inauguration day
