A parody of 'That's Life.' These are pretty much the ramblings of a malcontent moderate.

That’s Life (2011)
A Parody of That’s Life
New Lyrics by Steve Bryant
That’s life, and you know it’s true.
The Congress and the White House,
Don’t have a freaking clue.
It’s not a right wing or a left wing thing.
Pretty soon the Capitol will be Beijing.
That’s life, I’m sorry to say.
The market was up in April,
Shot back down in May.
Now I don’t want to beat a dying horse,
But the President can’t solve this,
Out on the golf course.
That’s life, and you know it’s true.
The Congress and the White House,
Don’t have a freaking clue.
It’s not a right wing or a left wing thing.
Pretty soon the Capitol will be Beijing.
We beat the British, the Spanish, The Germans,
Japan and we tied Korea.
Didn’t lose in Vietnam,
Just said so long, we’ll see ya.
We’re down but we’re not out. There’s no disgrace.
Unless the government let’s us fall flat on our face.
That’s life,
I can’t deny it.
There’s lots of stuff I want,
But I can’t afford to buy it.
And if the whole damn system’s not a sham.
The politicians would act like they give a damn.
I’ve been conservative, liberal, moderate even a socialist.
They put me on the enemies and the no fly list.
Each time we try to make some kind change.
The go on TV and say that we’re really strange.
That’s life,
It’s a bunch of crap.
Congress wouldn’t know a good deal,
If it fell right in their lap.
And if it looks like they won’t even try.
We’re gonna vote them out of office,
And wave bye-bye.
(My, my.)
