I'm sorry, I can't tell you when
Our country will be on again
But, please take heed that until then
You've got a place in line

Our operators in DC
Voted in by you and me
Have lost their ablility to see
They're paid, and that is fine

Our veterans who went and fought
Whose loyalties can not be bought
They learned lessons that can't be taught
But now, they stand in line

To use the lands that they kept free
In the name of Liberty
A Government for you and me
Closed by choice...a choice not yours or mine.
