Take That Pen and Shove It

©2014 David Moody

Take that pen and shove it –

You ain’t working here no more

You can’t handle the truth, and we’ve got proof –

You forgot who you’re working for

All of those lies you handed our way

We don’t care to hear the ones in store

So take that pen and shove it –

You ain’t working here no more

Well, I was working in America for now on fifteen years

All this time I saw my country cryin’ and we’re done dryin’ all our tears

And I’ve seen a lot of soldiers die and others’ rights all taken away

Here’s notice – you should start to pack, because you sure as hell can’t stay…

(Chorus)

You’ve been livin’ high on the hog, thinking we’re some kind of fools

Got your pen in hand, but Lord knows - no authority to use that tool.

Too many days we’ve had the chance to stop this sucker –

Today’s the day

I can’t wait to see your face when they finally lock your ass away

Until then, you can

(Chorus)
