“Say it ain’t so, Joe please…”

Monday, August 24th, 2020

They say you got empathy. But you’re saying no healthcare, when people have lost their health insurance along with their jobs. People are sick, dying, and you don’t even have healthcare on your party platform. That’s not empathy, Joe. That’s the same old sheit as always.

Say it ain’t so, Joe please
Say it ain’t so
That’s not what I want to hear Joe and I’ve got a right to know

Say it ain’t so, Joe please
Say it ain’t so
I’m sure they’re telling us lies Joe please tell us it ain’t so

They told us that our hero has played his trump card
He doesn’t know how to go on
We’re clinging to his charm and determined smile
But the good old days are gone

The image and the empire may be falling apart
The money has gotten scarce
One man’s word held the country together
But the truth is getting fierce

Say it ain’t so, Joe please
Say it ain’t so
We pinned our hopes on you Joe and they’re ruining our show

(Ooo Babies)
Don’t you think we’re gonna get burned
(Ooo Babies)
Don’t you think we’re gonna get burned
We’re gonna get turned
We’re gonna get learned
Cause we’re gonna get turned
We’re gonna get burned
We’re gonna get learned
Yes, we’re gonna get burned
We’re gonna get turned
We’re gonna get learned
Yes, we’re gonna get turned
We’re gonna get learned

Say it ain’t so, Joe please
Say it ain’t so
That’s not what I want to hear Joe and I’ve got a right to know
Say it ain’t so, Joe please
Say it ain’t so
I’m sure they’re telling us lies Joe please tell us it ain’t so

They told us that our are hero has played his trump card
He doesn’t know how to go on
We’re clinging to his charm and determined smile
But the good old days are gone

Say it ain’t so, Joe please
Say it ain’t so
We pinned our hopes on you Joe and they’re ruining our show
The image and the empire may be falling apart
The money had gotten scarce
One man’s word held the country together
But the truth is getting fierce

Say it ain’t so, Joe please
Say it ain’t so
That’s not what I want to hear Joe and I’ve got a right to know

Say it ain’t so, Joe please
Say it ain’t so
I’m sure they’re telling us lies Joe please tell us it ain’t so

Oooooo
That’s not what I want to hear Joe and I’ve got a right to know
