Story Behind The Song

THIS ONE TOOK A WHILE TO FINISH. I WAS THINKING IT WAS A CABARET TUNE WITH ACCORDIANS AND TUBAS AND CLARINETS. BUT I NEEDED SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE ACCESSIBLE. THIS TUNE HAS ALSO BEEN RECORDED AS A BLOERO. BUT THIS HONKY TONK COUNTRY GROOVE WORKED THE BEST WITH THE PSEUDO SKA BEAT IN THE MIDDLE. PEOPLE DEFINATELY DANCE TO IT. THAT'S FOR SURE!

Song Description

IT SEEMS THERE IS A CONSTANT SONG AND DANCE OUR GOV'T DOES IN FRONT OF US AND WE FIND IT ALL SO ENTERTAINING. WE BUY IT AND BELIEVE IN IT AND YET WHEN IT COMES RIGHT DOWN TO IT OUR GOV'T DOES WHATEVER IT WANTS TO JUST LIKE A DISOBEDIENT DAUGHTER
