[Verse 1]
I walked in the room this mornin'
You was talkin' in a rage
Paper on the table
Same old fight, same old stage
Every mouth got a megaphone
Every hand got a claim
But the floor is cracked and dusty
And the window says your name
[Pre-Chorus]
If you came to take a seat
You better feel that chair
If you came to save the day
Ain't nobody left to spare
[Chorus]
If you're a Democrat in office, leave now
If you are a Republican in office, leave now
Leave now, leave now
Let the people breathe somehow
(leave now) (leave now)
[Verse 2]
Muddy boots on the courthouse steps
Coffee cold in the sink
Everybody's got a slogan
Nobody wants to think
You can wave that flag all day long
You can pound that plank
But the backs of working people
Keep the whole town from sinkin' rank
[Pre-Chorus]
If you're sellin' more than truth
Then baby, shut the door
If you hear the people groanin'
You ain't helpin' anymore
[Chorus]
If you're a Democrat in office, leave now
If you are a Republican in office, leave now
Leave now, leave now
Let the people breathe somehow
(leave now) (leave now)
[Bridge]
I don't want your side
I want bread on the plate
I want roads that don't shake
And a line at the gate
I want hands that can build
Not just point and shout
If you can't do the work
Then turn yourself out
[Chorus]
If you're a Democrat in office, leave now
If you are a Republican in office, leave now
Leave now, leave now
Let the people breathe somehow
(leave now) (leave now)
