Been On The Job Too Long - JERICHO
Steve Gardner copyright 2007

Mr. Kennedy went down to Dallas never to return
Mr. Johnson took the white house hard lessons left to learn
The CIA played dominos and our boys died in Vietnam
They’ve been on the job too long

(chorus)
They’ve been on the job too long
They’ve been on the job too long
Let’s bring all the troops back home

Mr. Agnew jumped from the frying pan and landed in the fire
Mr, Nixon ran ran from Washington shoutin’ I aint a thief, I aint a liar
Mr. Ford he took that oval office no election return
They’ve been on the job to long

(chorus)

We’ve had peanut farmers and actors, pretenders and protractors, greedy fathers and their ignorant son....
But the buck that once stopped here has been wasted on lies and fear
Who’s sleepin’ in Lincoln’s bed room tonight?

(chorus)

(break)


Well it’s hard to hear freedom ring, nine eleven changed everything
Be careful of who you hate and who you fear...yeah
Now deep in your heart that sets all apart ‘till St. Peter calls us all away from here

He said,
We been on the job too long
We’ve been on the job too long
Bring all the troops back home

We’ve been on the job too long
We’ve been on the job too long
Bring all the troops back home

We’ve been on the job too long
We’ve been on the job too long
Bring all the troops back home

Mr. Steb!
I think you guys should win it just for havin' the best "group photo!"
Good luck on that one man, I'll see if I can have the "W" and Nooki
Naylor show up as special uninvited guests.
