The 90 And The 9

(专辑： Election Special - 2012)

When the train left the station my baby sat there crying
Saying, "Why we got to go, daddy, down to Charlotte town?
The road is long and the way is hard
It's so peaceful in our own backyard
So why we got to go daddy? Why we going to go?
Just give me one good reason why we got to go"

Well I said, "Honey you ain't read your little history book
Better dust it off and take another look
If the Democrats don't make it, then I'll have myself to blame
If we don't raise some sand then our votes might slip away
And our civil rights and our equal pay
And then it's too bad, Jim, for the 90 and the 9"

'Cause this may be the last time, I don't know
I don't know, honey, I don't know
This may be the last time, I don't know
It may be the last time for the 90 and the 9

They promised war was done but peace didn't declare
Our young folks are still going there
I didn't raise our child to go to war this time
Honey, they're just shooting at the 90 and the 9

And I can't understand when we're losing jobs
Why they go jacking up the price on gas
And when the moment's right the price will fall on time
Honey, they're just jacking with the 90 and 9

Well this may be the last time, I don't know
I don't know, honey, I don't know
May be the last time, I don't know
It may be the last time for the 90 and the 9

Now yonder comes a brother on his way from town
Let's make his acquaintance and then we'll sit right down
Saying how goes the battle, what news do you hear?
What's the circumstances for working folks 'round here?
Let's have a cup of coffee, spend a pleasant time
We're all paid-up members of the 90 and the 9

Now this may be the last time, I don't know
I don't know but I could be wrong
I wonder what would brother Pete say
I hope its not the last time for the 90 and the 9
