Christmastime In Washington Lyrics - Indigo Girls

It was christmastime in washington 

The democrats rehearsed 

Gettin' into gear for four more years 

Of things not gettin' worse 

The republicans drank whiskey neat 

And they thanked their lucky stars 

They said "he can not seek another term 

They'll be no more f.d.r.s" 

I sat home in tennessee 

Just starin' at the screen 

An uneasy feelin' in my chest 

Just wonderin' what it means

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

So come back woody guthrie 

Come back to us now 

Tear your eyes from paradise 

And rise again somehow 

If you run into jesus 

Maybe he can help us out 

Come back woody guthrie 

To us now 

I followed in your footsteps once 

Back in my travelin' days 

Somewhere I failed to find your trail 

Now I'm stumblin' through the haze 

There's killers on the highway now 

And a man can't get around 

So I just sold my soul for wheels that roll 

Now I'm stuck here in this town

So come back woody guthrie 

Come back to us now 

Tear your eyes from paradise 

And rise again somehow 

If you run into jesus 

Maybe he can help us out 

Come back woody guthrie 

To us now 

See there's foxes in the henhouse 

And there's cows out in the corn 

The unions have been busted 

And their proud red banners torn 

But if you listen to the radio 

They'll tell you all is well 

But you and me and cisco know 

It's goin' straight to hell 

So come back emma goldman 

Rise up old joe hill 

The barricades are goin' up 

They cannot break our will 

Come back to us malcolm x 

And martin luther king 

We're marchin' into selma 

While the bells of freedom ring 

And come back woody guthrie 

Come back to us now 

Tear your eyes from paradise 

And rise again somehow
