We'd like to do an idea for you that was related to the HOGaTe, Watergate blues In March of 1973, we wrote the Watergate blues, and some 17 months later, then-President Nixon resigned But the story didn't end there, so we didn't stop there We have prepared a sequel, and it's called, and it's called "We Beg Your Pardon America" We beg your pardon because the pardon you gave this time, was not yours to give They call it due process and some people are overdue We beg your pardon America Somebody said "brother-man gonna break a window, gonna steal a hubcap, gonna smoke a joint, brother man gonna go to jail" The man who tried to steal America is not in jail "Get caught with a nickel bag brother-man, get caught with a nickel bag", says the lady on your way to get your hair fixed "You'll do Big Ben, and Big Ben is time" But the man who tried to fix America will not do time Said they're going to slap his wrists, gonna retire him with 850 thousand dollars And America was "shocked" America leads the world in shocks Unfortunately, America does not lead the world in deciphering the cause of shock 850 thousand dollars they said and the people protested and so they saw it like "we'll give him 200 thousand dollars" Everybody said "OK, that's better" I'd like to retire with 200 thousand dollars some day San Quentin not San Clemente Do not pass go, go directly to jail, do not collect 200 thousand dollars We beg your pardon America We beg your pardon because somehow the pardon did not sit correctly What were - what were the causes for this pardon? Well now they had "flea bite us" Rats bite us, no pardon in the ghetto They had national security, but do you feel secure with the man who tried to steal America back on the streets again? What are the results of this pardon though? Because remember, when there's causes, there's results and the results is always deeper still We now have Oatmeal Man Anytime you find someone in the middle, Anytime you find someone who is tepid, Anytime you find someone who is lukewarm, Anytime you find someone who has been in Congress for 25 years and no one ever heard of him, You've got Oatmeal Man Oatmeal Man, straddling uncomfortably, yards and feet of barbed wire It's hard to live in the middle all the time Oatmeal Man, the man who said you could fit all of his black friends in the trunk of his car and still have room for the Republican elephant Oatmeal Man But there was no crime committed Oatmeal Man says that "America, in 1975 your president will be a 1913 Ford" Regressive Circle up the wagons to defend yourself from nuclear attack Oatmeal Man, reminiscent of 1964's AuHO, Gold Water Thank god he didn't win, but Oatmeal man didn't win
