LYRICS
Well I went to find my country
But there was nobody home
I walked the halls of Congress
But I found myself alone
I called the President
He would not pick up the phone
I went looking for the White House
They said that address is alone
Chorus
Rabbit run rabbit run
From the gates of Washington
I got my bible and and my blanket
Going to sleep here at the feet of Jefferson
So I went to the doctor
To find out just what was ailing me
He took a deep breath took off his glasses
Said let me tell you what I see
You got a bad case of conscience
They banished all that back in 1963
Ain’t been but one man for whom it really mattered
That’s the man they sent up to Cavalry
Chorus
So I went to the preacher
To ask if knew what I should do
He said boy take your first communion
Then try to see it from God’s point of view
This world is full of little children
And sometimes children misbehave
Put your trust in the GovernorIf you really want to be saved
Rabbit run rabbit run to your islands in the sun
There’s nobody left here but the ones
With broken dreams and vacant stares
Who clutch their beads and say their prayers
And so I went to the Governor
He said there’s no one here by that name
Once you get a taste of power
Things somehow start to change
The problem here is with Justice
The way she’s treated is a sin
But there’s not much I can do now
With the kind of fix you’re in
