Lyrics

Hell no you can't. Hell yes you can.
Twist those rules. You know they bend.
Movin' to the left and then the right.
Nothing seems to happen. You'd rather fight.

Talk all day. Talk all night.
Blow hot air with all your might.
That dissertation makes me want to snooze.
I guess all those don'ts is how you pay your dues.
This here nation got the constipation. 3x's
Got the no discussin', bill obstructin', filibustering blues.
Make your point. Cast your vote.
If you win, try not to gloat.
Movin' to the left and then the right.
Nothin' seems to happen. You'd rather fight.

You're on the top, Thanks to the middle.
You've made it big. Now give a little.
That dissertation makes me want to snooze.
I guess all those don'ts is how you pay your dues.
This here nation got the constipation. 3x's Got the no discussin', bill obstructin', filibustering blues.

Hell no you won't. Hell yes you will.
What's goin' on up on that hill?
Movin' to the left and then the right.
Nothin' ever happens. You'd rather fight.

You stammer and stutter upon the floor.
Say "I'm right!" and slam the door.
That dissertation makes me want to snooze.
I guess all those don'ts is how you pay your dues.
This here nation got the constipation. 3x's Got the no discussin', bill obstructin', filibustering blues.

You tried to change the constitution.
But couldn't sell your resolution
Moving to the left and then the right
Noting ever happens. You'd rather fight.

You gnash your teeth and flap your tongue.
A bill is dead , battered and hung.
That dissertation makes me want to snooze.
I guess all those don'ts is how you pay your dues.
This here nation got the constipation. 3x's Got the no discussin', bill obstructin', filibustering blues.
