55. Rainy Days and This Job

    Talkin’ to myself and feelin’ old
    I’d like to be like Palin and quit
    I can’t even give a s*it
    Hangin’ around
    Nothing to do but frown
    Rainy Days and this job always get me down.

    What I’ve got is call the Governor blues
    The Stimulus really went wrong
    Supporter act like I don’t belong
    Flip-Floppin’ around
    Some kind of lonely clown
    Rainy Days and this job always get me down.

    Funny but it seems I always wanted this old job
    Nice to know I finally got it
    Funny but although I’d like to campaign and hobnob
    I rather tell my friends to shove it.

    What I feel right now is best left unsaid
    I feel like I’ve been left for dead
    To deal alone with a Comptroller’s swelled head
    The State Fair’s soon in town
    But all I seem to do is frown
    Rainy Days and this job always get me down.
