The Night They Drove our Healthcare Down

With Apologies to Songwriters: Robertson, Robbie & The Band

Virgil Caine is my name and I served on the Tea Party train.

'Til Obama's Union Men came and tore up our signs again!

In the summer of 2009, we were angry, just barely contained

By the Spring of Ten, our Healthcare had fell

It's a time I remember, oh so well

The night they drove our Healthcare down

And the bells were ringing

The night they drove our Healthcare down

And the people were singing

They went, "La, la, la"

Back with my wife in Tennessee, when one day she called to me

"Virgil, quick, come see, there goes Sean Hannity!"

Now I don't mind dyin' for good, and I don't care if the money's no good

Ya take what ya need and ya leave the rest,

But they should never have taken our very best!

The night they drove our Healthcare down

And the bells were ringing

The night they drove our Healthcare down

And all the people were singing

They went, "La, la, la"

Like my father before me, I will work the land.

And like my brother above me, I'll take a rebel stand!

He was just eighteen, proud and brave, but a bu reaucrat laid him in his grave.

I swear by the mud below my feet

You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat

The night they drove our Healthcare down

And the bells were ringing

The night they drove our Healthcare down

And all the people were singing

They went, "Na, na, na"

The night they drove our Healthcare down

And all the bells were ringing

The night they drove our Healthcare down

And the people were singing

They went, "Na, na, na"
