What Else is New

California's still on fire and it don't rain no more in Texas

There's a few less ice caps, weigh 'em over here

Mother Russia stays pissed-off, yeah, she's got some big old bombs

Still throwin' around her weight after all these years

And the price of gasoline is enough to make you scream

Yeah, the cost of livin' goes up and the pay goes down

I don't care what's right or left, y'all, I'm just out here with the rest

In the middle class, that still means broke to me

What else is new, I'm tellin' you, I'm tellin' what the blue-collar man is goin' thru

We don't let no bad news hang around

It's the same old situation, all the problems facin' our great nation, so to hell to all those bringin' that bad news down

And the politicians will never know how we let their egos go

No, they could not give two dimes 'bout you and me

Yeah, but they still got their pensions

With some tactics they'd rather not mention, that's the price we pay for been livin' free

What else is new, I'm tellin' you, I'm tellin' what the blue-collar man is goin' thru

We don't let no bad news hang around

It's the same old situation, all the problems facin' our great nation, so to hell to all those bringin' that bad news down

What else is new, I'm tellin' you, I'm tellin' what the blue-collar man is goin' thru

We don't let no bad news hang around

It's the same old situation, all the problems facin' our great nation, so to hell to all those bringin' that bad news down

Oh, to hell to all those bringin' that bad news down

Oh, to hell to all those bringin' that bad news
