about

A song about politics & our President. I was (and still am to a limited degree) a big supporter of Barack Obama, to the extent of gaining citizenship to vote for him. What I've realized since then is that the American political system is so broken that the only thing that gets you anywhere in Washington is money. There could be a poll stating that 80% of the country is in favor of something (you've seen them) but lobbyists & money will still win the day. I may be in love but he's always going to go for the money.

lyrics

Laid bare for the big rig
Drilling hope from the bottom of the slope
That slips & bobs & backhand jobs
For this greedy needy seedy kind of love
Tied down loaded up
Declaring love as you slide on the glove, pulling out
Thirty one flavors of whipped up party favors
For this greedy needy seedy kind of love
I’m in love
I’m in love
With a porn star
Deep blue & the devil she’s a
Hot mess in her red party dress
The mysterious stranger, the thrill & the danger of this
Greedy needy seedy kind of love
I’m in love
I’m in love
With a porn star
Raised by friendly fire
Tag team slot machine
Climbing the pole & punching the hole
Come to our senses & hold it against us in this
Greedy needy seedy kind of love
