Waiting For A New Deal Now Songtext

Franklin Roosevelt said in 1932 "If you elect me this is what I'm gonna do If you can't get a square meal I'm gonna give you a new deal" And I'm waitin' for a new deal now Waitin' for a new deal now Waitin' for a new deal now Couldn't believe that people still hungry, people still poor And I'm waitin' for a new deal now Mr. Dukakis says he's not a liberal man He's running made up to a disguised Republican Mr. Bush swears by democracy I swear it's all hypocrisy And I'm waitin' for a new deal now Waitin' for a new deal now Waitin' for a new deal now If you can't get no satisfaction you better call on some Jackson action And I'm waitin' for a new deal now The American election is all the news The world is waitin' to see who you all will choose I guess if you can't vote for somebody Maybe you better vote against somebody And I'm waitin' for a new deal now Waitin' for a new deal now Waitin' for a new deal now We're waitin' for that great leap forwards so we sing in one great chorus "We are waitin' for a new deal now"
