lyrics

Well he wasn’t my first choice I’ll tell you that much
Where I come from we don’t talk like it’s the circus
Still the lord says every many has got his purpose
So I’m looking on the brighter side of things

I’ve been pleased to see the team that he’s assembled
There’s a few that I don’t like but I won’t quibble
‘Cause there’s a lot at stake and I know it’s not simple
I’m just glad they’ve got the right priorities

Weren’t no smart slick-talking black man
Ever gonna speak for me
Better stay out of my living room
And I’ll stay off the street

And yes the truth is I don’t worry about my paycheck
No I don’t vote my wallet boys I vote my conscience
And they had eight long years to mess things up
So what we need’s a couple tight-ass white men
To fix things up

I got sick and tired of always playing defense
Now we’re back on top and I hope we can act like it
For too long I’d watch the tv and hate what’s on it
All that change they were talking about well it didn’t change me

Ain’t no smug big-talking woman
Ever gonna speak for me
There’s a lot of money changing hands
But my two hands are clean

And my wife says she can’t join me where I’m going
And my kids say that they just don’t understand me
But they had eight long years they had their fun
And now we need a couple tight-ass white men
To get things done

…

Ain’t no son moves up to New York
Ever gonna speak for me
I’ve been listening to it all my life
But now they’re gonna hear me

I know you worry when you watch the news each evening
And when you go out in a world that’s always changing
That your kids will not respect the world you’re leaving
But don’t you question, don’t you change the things you’re doing
‘Cause they had eight long years to mess things up
And now we got a couple tight-ass white men
To patch things up

Oh tight-ass white men
Gonna patch things up
