Lyrics

8 long years  of plunderin' the planet
                          of warming up the globe
                          how did we ever stand itt
I don't know how we handled 8 long years

8 long years  of bombing other nations
                          of bullying our friends
                          of stubborn isolation
I don't know how we handled 8 long years

(chorus)
8 long years (x6)
I don't know how we handled 8 long years

8 long years of tax breaks for the wealthy
                         of favors for their friends
                         I sure hope that you stayed healthy
or you never would have lasted 8 long years


(chorus)

8 long years picking narrow minded judges
                         of holier than thou
                         of them acting out their grudges and
I don't know how we handled 8 long years

(repeat verse 1, chorus x 2)
