Lyrics
You ought to be ashamed.
1. Down here at this station in my super sport Chevelle, It?s got a V8 motor it?s a big 454, clutch, brake, accelerator and a shifter that shifts four, but I don?t get to drive it the price of gas has made me poor.
(Chorus)
George Bush and Chainey and all those Opec cats, while we?re getting poorer, their all gettin? fat, George Bush and Chainey, you ought to be ashamed, cause the money in your pocket is the one I use to claim, why do you take advantage of this poor old workin? man.
2. Now when I run my car I run on bootleg alcohol, I don?t burn that high price gas I?d rather fight the law. Seems like no one cares about this poor old workin? man. A new president I pray will save this land.
(Chorus)
George Bush and Chainey and all those Opec cats, while we?re getting poorer, their all gettin? fat, George Bush and Chainey, you ought to be ashamed, cause the money in your pocket is the one I use to claim, why do you take advantage of this poor old workin? man.
(Tag)
George Bush and Chainey, you ought to be ashamed, George Bush and Chainey, now you?re the ones I blame, George Bush and Chainey, I just don?t understand, why you take advantage of this poor old workin? man, George Bush and Chainey, you ought to be ashamed, George Bush and Chainey, now you?re the ones I blame, George Bush and Chainey, I just don?t understand, why you take advantage of this poor old workin? man, why you take advantage of this poor old, workin? man.
