Oh, Republicans, Where Did You Go So Wrong?!

Modern day Republicans are a far cry from the ancestors, and that is a crying shame.  Where, oh where did they go so wrong to become the fools they are today?

  1. The Times They are A-changin'
    - Bob Dylan

    Come gather 'round people
    Wherever you roam
    And admit that the waters
    Around you have grown
    And accept it that soon
    You'll be drenched to the bone
    If your time to you
    Is worth savin'
    Then you better start swimmin'
    Or you'll sink like a stone
    For the times they are a-changin'.

    Come writers and critics
    Who prophesize with your pen
    And keep your eyes wide
    The chance won't come again
    And don't speak too soon
    For the wheel's still in spin
    And there's no tellin' who
    That it's namin'
    For the loser now
    Will be later to win
    For the times they are a-changin'.

    Come senators, congressmen
    Please heed the call
    Don't stand in the doorway
    Don't block up the hall
    For he that gets hurt
    Will be he who has stalled
    There's a battle outside
    And it is ragin'
    It'll soon shake your windows
    And rattle your walls
    For the times they are a-changin'.

    Come mothers and fathers
    Throughout the land
    And don't criticize
    What you can't understand
    Your sons and your daughters
    Are beyond your command
    Your old road is
    Rapidly agin'
    Please get out of the new one
    If you can't lend your hand
    For the times they are a-changin'.

    The line it is drawn
    The curse it is cast
    The slow one now
    Will later be fast
    As the present now
    Will later be past
    The order is
    Rapidly fadin'
    And the first one now
    Will later be last
    For the times they are a-changin'.

  2. Well, my shoes, they comes from Singapore
    My flashlight's from Taiwan
    My tablecloth's from Malayisia
    My belt buckle's from the Amazon
    You know, this shirt I wear comes from the Philippines
    And the car I drive is a Chevrolet
    It was put together down in Argentina
    By a guy making thirty cents a day.

    Well, it's sundown on the union
    And what's made in the USA
    Sure was a good idea
    'Til greed got in the way.

    Well, this silk dress is from Hong Kong
    And the pearls are from Japan
    Well, the dog collar's from India
    And the flower pot's from Pakistan
    All the furniture it said "Made in Brazil"
    Where a woman, she slaved for sure
    Bringing home thirty cents a day to a family of twelve
    You know, that's a lot of money to her.

    Well, it's sundown on the union
    And what's made in the USA
    Sure was a good idea
    'Til greed got in the way.

    Well, you know, lots of people complaining that there is no work
    I say, "Why you say that for
    When nothing you got is US made ?"
    They don't make nothing here no more
    You know, capitalism is above the law
    It say, "it don't count 'less it sells"
    [ From: http://www.elyrics.net ]
    When it costs too much to build it at home
    You just build it cheaper someplace else.

    Well, it's sundown on the union
    And what's made in the USA
    Sure was a good idea
    'Til greed got in the way.
    Well, the job that you used to have
    They gave it to somebody down in El Salvador
    The unions are big business, friend
    And they're going out like a dinosaur
    They used to grow food in Kansas
    Now they want to grow it on the moon and eat it raw
    I can see the day coming when even your home garden
    Is gonna be against the law.

    Well, it's sundown on the union
    And what's made in the USA
    Sure was a good idea
    'Til greed got in the way.

    Democracy don't rule the world
    You'd better get that in your head
    This world is ruled by violence
    But I guess that's better left unsaid
    From Broadway to the Milky Way
    That's a lot of territory indeed
    And a man's gonna do what he has to do
    When he's got a hungry mouth to feed.

    Well, it's sundown on the union
    And what's made in the USA
    Sure was a good idea
    'Til greed got in the way.
