A Savior on Capitol Hill

I have this very song on my playlist.

If you want, click on the song to give it a listen.

Derek Webb is an incredible artist, my husband and I love what his music has to say.

A Savior on Capitol Hill

I think Obama will make a decent president. I think he'll do some things that will help this nation. I think he'll do things that hurt this country. He's an imperfect human being. However, as I read the comments of some people, they think that all of their problems will be solved. Derek Webb has some good commentary on this. ~Jackhammer

I’m so tired of these mortal men
with their hands on their wallets and their hearts full of sin
scared of their enemies, scared of their friends
and always running for re-election
so come to DC if it be thy will
because we’ve never had a savior on Capitol Hill

you can always trust the devil or a politician
to be the devil or a politician
but beyond that friends you’d best beware
’cause at the Pentagon bar they’re an inseparable pair
and as long as the lobbyists are paying their bills
we’ll never have a savior on Capitol Hill

all of our problems gonna disappear
when we can whisper right in that President’s ear
he could walk right across the reflection pool
in his combat boots and ten thousand dollar suit

you can render unto Caesar everything that’s his
you can trust in his power to come to your defense
it’s the way of the world, the way of the gun
it’s the trading of an evil for a lesser one
so don’t hold your breath or your vote until
you think you’ve finally found a savior up on Capitol Hil
