Twas the day after tax day, and throughout the US,
Tea party protesters were learning about mainstream media BS.
They portrayed us as ignorant, angry, racist, extreme,
while most of us are just trying to live our American dream.
We’re mothers and fathers and hard working voters,
And we organized this ourselves, without wealthy promoters.
In fact, most of us had never done this before,
We’ve been the silent majority, but we can take it no more.
We protested poor representation and out of control spending,
From a government whose power seems never-ending.
We’ve sent letters and emails and called and faxed,
Begging them to stop, as we’ll be further taxed.
We can’t spend our way out of this crippling mess,
As our government takes more, the people have less.
They use tax dollars to bail out those “too big to fail,”
While trusting tax cheats to fix it, who should be in jail.
They’re passing multi-billion dollar bills they don’t even read,
Full of pork barrel spending and programs we don’t really need.
They assume we don’t care or understand what they’re doing,
But it’s obvious now, there’s a peaceful revolution brewing.
For we’re looking for honest representation,
Good people who know their place in this nation.
Put politics aside and defend the Constitution,
Don’t worry about wealth and equal distribution.
The government works for us, and they need to remember,
Or in 2010 some will learn that November,
We’ll no longer tolerate their progressive plans,
And we’ll put our country into much better hands.
