lyrics

WE MADE IT ALRIGHT

They kind of made us in New York
On that fateful day
There we were running around in circles, honey
Then we had something to say

Draftdodgers shrinking the budget
For the defence of our liberty
Had to turn around this vicious circle
And seize the opportunities

You could be forgiven for thinking
That our pockets were already full
But business is business and we have to deliver
Yes that’s the one and only rule

Many people out there trying to criticise us
But there’s nothing they can do
We’ve got a system here that makes it possible
To push our agenda through

We made it alright
We just made it alright
I mean they came at us from every direction
And we put up a pretty good fight

We never said we would make it alright
For absolutely everyone
It been as easy as herding cats
And we had a short time to get things done

But we did make it alright to do many things
That we used to condemn before
We couldn’t let obstacles get in our way
Not the constitution nor the laws

It’s all been free tax payers money, baby
There was plenty there to burn
The donkeys waiting in the wings will have to pick up the pieces, When its their turn

Won’t give you peace in your lifetime
Well that wouldn’t be really much use
We might just give you a piece of the action baby
If you keep supporting our views

But we made it alright
We just made it alright
I mean we made billions of dollars for the people that matter, And we put up a pretty good fight
