Dave Allikas: Music
Greaseman performance of "(We Never Promised You) The Rose Garden"
(Dave Allikas)
We beg your pardon
We never promised you the Rose Garden
Your loss to Obama
Staved off a second Clinton reign, mama
Though it pains us when you cry, “I tried hard; God knows, I
Even dragged Bill, that worthless tub of lard, in,”
We never promised you the Rose Garden.
Yes, you promised folks stuff, but not quite enough
’Cause Barack served pie 14 miles high and trumped you
And you’re pissed the voters dumped you
But that sweet-talkin’ you just never rang true;
As you spoke of reform, it seemed that your nose was growing
Thus your hapless showing
So smile that fake smile that failed to fool us
’Cept when we picked you -creeps to rule us
Back in ’92; if you feel screwed, well, Hil,
We beg your pardon
We never promised you the Rose Garden.
