Wrote this song after Arnold the Terminator was elected Governor of California. I felt like we were living in a looney tunes cartoon. What's What?????????????????????????

lyrics

What’s What
by John Beccia

Everytime I look around, I wonder where it’s goin’
Things are always speeding up and never ever slowin’
Every new election’s like a punch into the gut
Will someone please come and tell me what is what

CHORUS - What’s what?
What’s your number? What’s your name?
What’s what?
What’s your angle? What’s your game?
Every answer that I get is if, or and, or but
Will someone please come and tell me what is what

We used to be a country free, built on immigration
Now it seems our policies are based on domination
Politicians passing out each favor for a buck
Will someone please come and tell me what is what

REPEAT CHORUS

The rich stay rich, the poor stay poor by whose determination
We pass our laws and fight our wars to help the corporations
Social and enviromental programs just get cut
Will someone please come and tell me what is what

REPEAT CHORUS
