about

A song about the congressional representation in Oklahoma

lyrics

Tom grew tall in the Oklahoma summers,
Then he climbed on the backs of his Indian brothers.
Now he talks high cotton, and he get his way.
That Chickasaw boy has forgotten his face.
Chickasaw boy has forgotten his face.

James got the call, and he got wet for Jesus.
To keep his wings clean he floats way above us.
Swearin’ out loud that the kids are all right,
But the evidence is lying in their graves tonight.
The evidence is lying in their graves tonight.

That other Old Jim is a stone cold bastard,
Snow ball stupid and a mouth full of daggers.
Screams that the sun is never gonna catch us.
Spits out oil and calls it molasses.
Spits out oil and calls it molasses.

Now Tom and James and Jimmy got elected,
But the Three Hillbillies, they don’t get the message.
So they climb and they scream and they deny the truth.
And the people down south keep getting abused.
The people down south keep getting abused.
