GET ‘EM OUT – DEMO 

 

In the continuing Isolation Demonstration Series have a listen to Get ‘Em Out. A bit of 12 bar on the acoustic guitar, trying out a few things here in isolation.

If you have seen my ramblings over the years you probably know that I believe there is little sense in bitching about the problems of mankind without offering some solution and you have probably heard me go on about Term Limits for all elected positions.

I believe that a long term solution to greed and corruption in the political system known as representative democracy around the world Australia, the USA, UK, India, Japan etc etc etc is to take the career out of politics by imposing Term Limits for all elected positions and a waiting period prior to anyone seeking re-election to the same or another elected position.

Now I could go on and on about the how Term Limits would work to over time to limit greed and corruption (you can’t take greed out of human nature and greed leads to corruption) in government … but I will just lay it out here in song.

There are books to read, petitions to sign, examples to look at, discussions to enter in to (happy to discuss at any length any time) and the different methods by which the people can impose Term Limits.

We can count on one thing for sure career politicians and political parties are not going to impose Term Limits on themselves so we will most likely have to force it on them. This is quite evident as in every state in the US that has put up Term Limits for State Government, as a referendum or proposition, it has been fought tooth and nail by the career politicians and political parties. They will not give up their slots at the taxpayer funded pig trough without a fight.

Get ‘Em Out … hopefully thought and discussion provoking, I mean it’s our country, our government and our money not theirs. We should be looking at ways to improve the system, this is just one thing that will do that … in my humble opinion.

There is a petition you can sign at U.S. Term Limits.org … not that they going to roll over and accept it but hey why not.

LYRICS – GET ‘EM OUT

Tired eyes with tired lies tired ideas collecting flies

Old warhorses seldom work need new blood to really perk

Don’t care which side they’re playin on too many years is far too long

Career politicians they just have a job we need fresh blood to keep it strong

Old politicians are like tree roots they’ve been there for ages its just no good

Hard to get out once they’ve won after that they don’t care about you son

They get entrenched like a damn wisdom tooth hard to get out gotta dig out the roots

Their only channel is tunnel vision how to win the next election

They don’t give a damn about you or me power and money is all they see

Can’t see the future they live in the past we need to refresh if we want it to last

We need to get them old cats out turn this whole damn dance around

We’re gonna find ourselves down in a hole no hope for our children to hold

Career politicians they just have a job we need fresh blood to keep it strong

Old politicians are like tree roots they’ve been there for ages its just no good

Hard to get out once they’ve won after that they don’t care about you son

Tired eyes with tired lies tired ideas collecting flies

Old warhorses seldom work need new blood to really perk

Don’t care which side they’re playin on too many years is far too long

Career politicians they just have a job we need fresh blood to keep it strong

Old politicians are like tree roots they’ve been there for ages its just no good

Hard to get out once they’ve won after that they don’t care about you son
