[Audio] Impeachment Song (Turn Those Tables Around)

A friend of IfP (Ralph at politicalsongs.net) sent this new song to us. I think it’s kinda cool!

Polls show half the country want impeachment hearings, It’s not just me and you
But Congress won’t even discuss it, we got an elephant in the room
The speaker says its off of the table, and the candidates think its too hot
So George Bush keeps doing whatever he wants, whether it is legal or not

And while they keep playing political games, we keep losing more ground
So if impeachment is off the table, maybe we should turn those tables around

This Impeachment is not about payback, and its not a radical thing
It’s the way to ensure that a president, doesn’t turn into a king
The Constitution mentions it six times, and we’ve all seen it in our lives
They used it on Clinton for telling a lie, even though nobody died

And even the right wing guy who started that fight, thinks W. needs to go down
So if impeachment is off the table, I think we’ve gotta turn those tables around

He lied about his reasons for going to war, even Greenspan says it was for oil
Spies on citizens without warrants or cause, usurping constitutional law
Issues signing statements most everyday, saying he won’t abide by the Congress’s will
Holds prisoners in Cuba without a right to trial, and torture is going on still

He swore he’d preserve & protect the Constitution, but look where we are now
If impeachment is off the table, you know we’ve got to turn those tables around

Democracy can only work if people stand up to what is wrong
If politicians keep impeachment off the table, the people need to put it back on

The only way to break this spell, is to speak up loud and strong
Our leaders took impeachment off of the table, WE THE PEOPLE gotta put it back on
