Oh Tillis please, just do your job

Oh Tillis please, just do your job

Oh how I want to be in that number

When you finally do your job!

You say you will, and then you don’t

You say you will, and then you don’t

Vote for what the people are wanting

You say you will and then you don’t

You work for us, that’s how it works

You work for us, that’s how it works

Or at least, that’s how it’s supposed to

You work for us, that’s how it works

Will you stand up, to tyranny

Will you stand up, to tyranny

When will you fight Trump’s cruel agenda

Will you stand up, to tyranny

Where are you now, where could you be?

Where are you now, where could you be?

Are you hiding at home ‘cause you’re chicken?

We need you now, where could you be?

Oh Tillis please, just do your job

Oh Tillis please, just do your job

Oh how I want to be in that number

When you finally do your job!

Oh how I want to be in that number

When you finally grow a spi-i-ine!
