Good Intentions, Bad Extremes - 02 - Long Wait (Welcome to Washington) lyrics

[Verse 1] Alarm goes off at 5 AM This ain't no joke or for pretend I roll over to check the date March 23rd, I just can't wait It's time for that DC field trip So excited, gonna be sick Hop on the train that silver line Transit fair is 5.99 Hop off train at Capitol south This trip's gonna be dope no doubt Ascending up those marble stairs To see what is or is not fair The highest court in all the land 9 justices we'll see first hand Scalia, Roberts, RBG The Supreme Court we'll finally see! Wait what is this? It's only 8:46 In the morning I say as I'm yawning And then it starts dawning— On me, you see: this line is even longer than an IMAX movie screen Check my watch its 10 AM Line barely moved from end to end Guard said that we'd get in just fine Well clearly not, he must have lied! And as we stand out here freezing in the cold The guard comes out and announces that the first case is closed! Long, long wait….Long, long wait… Sitting here on Capitol Hill, Sitting here on Capitol Hill (2x) [Verse 2] Another hour pa**es Forward move the ma**es Till finally they give us green 3 minute pa**es We head on through security These arguments are sure to be Of the most utmost quality They'll redeem everything, you'll see Laughing, jokes, and witty retorts My man Clarence Thomas said nada of course Fun while it lasted but seemed like a show Security says time is up and you all gotta go 2 congressmen are on their way There cannot be any delay We head back to the House of Reps And wait for Don up on the steps But Beyer doesn't show time And when he does I start to find He's nice but this act he puts forth Is made to make us like him more Mark Warner doesn't care one bit Answers about derivatives He doesn't really talk a lot For him this is a photo op I leaned over and asked my friend This can't possibly be the end He laughed and then he shook his head Exclaimed “Welcome to Washington!" Long, long wait….Long, long wait… Sitting here on Capitol Hill, Sitting here on Capitol Hill (2x)
