Shut Down the Government 
(a.k.a. 'Some Kind of Wonderful' by Grand Funk Railroad)



We don’t need no government programs
We don’t need Obamacare
We don’t need to raise your taxes
We’ve got all the money we need

And we don’t have to run a-round
Cutting budgets every day
Because we’ve got a work stoppage
And nothing’s getting done this way

Oh, our party, it’s alright
Oh, our party’s clean and very white
Don’t you know that we

We shut down the government
We shut down the government
Yes, we did, we did

We shut down the government
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

When we go out in our districts
And we greet all the people we know
Oh, when our message reaches people
My heart fills with de-si-re

When we cut programs, or put people on the street
It ‘bout drives me out of my mind
Yeah, when we cut social programs
Chills run up and down my spine

Oh, our party, it’s alright
Oh, our party’s clean and very white
Don’t you know that we

We shut down the government
We shut down the government
Yes, we did, we did

We shut down the government
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Now is there any party
Got a shutdown just like ours?
There’s just no other party
Got a, got a shutdown just like ours

Yeah, now can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Oh, can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
I'm talking, talking 'bout our party
(We shut down the government)

Talking 'bout our party
(We shut down the government)

Talking 'bout our party
(We shut down the government)

Talking 'bout our party, my party, our party
(We shut down the government) 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, my party, our party
(We shut down the government)

Talking 'bout our party, my party, our party
(We shut down the government)
