Powerless

Got the call two hours ago not to report Monday. The hard part for me to understand, is that with my job, I am on call 24/7, and should something happedn like on Memorial ay weekend or even last night, till 10:30, I* have to work the job till we open the road, Regardless. Memeorial day weekend was 37 hours STRAIGHT to get 1&9 open
The polititians, they just go home, and they WANTED this job, went through everything to get elected. Then with there pension they get and lifetime benefits, they want me who has to do 25 years to give up 15%. These guys are unbelievable.
The real culprits, are us the voters for not getting rid of some of these clowns, and having the perks they do for what they seem to take as a part time job.

Loggins and Messina said it best

Well we give them the election
That keeps filling our heads full of lies
Can we trust in new directions
When their promises are in disquise
Well someday the truth will catch up
I just hope it don’t catch us all by surprise

They preach this thing, religion
But we show no faith at all
Follow suit on Sunday
But on Monday forget it all
If the times should find us needing him
Then my friend, Lord have mercy on our soul

[Chorus:]
It’s the same old wine
In a brand new bottle
It’s the same old wine
In a brand new bottle

Teach our children virture
Then send’em off to war
Then we ask ourselves the question
What and the hell are we fighting for?
If you suddenly find a reason
Well don’t be afraid to open the door
Well don’t be afraid

[Chorus]

It’s the same old wine
From a brand new bottle
It’s the same old wine
From a brand new bottle
The same old wine
From a brand new wine
