Thank you for listening to our song
We hope that by the end you were singing along
Now that we’ve asked you
All of you by name
We’d like to think that by fairness we can change
This country we are living in
We want to bring America together
And that starts with you in Congress getting along
And compromising

LYRICS:

Hi, we’re ShiSho from Kent, Ohio
And we’re here with a message for EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN in the House of Representatives from middle class America

My dear Republicans
I am here today
To advise
A compromise
To keep us from recession
We ask you to agree
That the middle class can’t take this type of a beating
You see the fiscal cliff is daunting
Pitting friend against friend
Democrat vs Republican
We arrive with a plea
For each of you personally

Please hear our cries
Basic medicine is something on which millions rely
We can’t afford these tax increases
But I know some guys who can
And Obama knows them too
Within the top 2% of the country
So we’re urging you to tax them
For the good of everybody

We know your friends
Live in the one percent
And we know you want to protect them
But can we put our financial backers aside
For the good of a country
We can’t handle another recession
And with the help of you and your profession
We don’t have to linger in a nationwide depression
Please, Mr...

MIDGE: That’s everyone except for one more!
VIVIAN: John....
MIDGE: DARTH VADER!!!
VIVIAN: I think you mean John Boehner
MIDGE: What’s the difference?
VIVIAN: Darth Vader was a noble Jedi Knight who became corrupt and betrayed the Jedi Order and his Master. Darth Vader became the Emperor's dark enforcer. He secretly intended to overthrow Palpatine and establish himself of ruler of the Empire.
MIDGE: So... what’s the difference?
VIVIAN: I don’t know, let’s see how this plays out

Thank you for listening to our song
We hope that by the end you were singing along
Now that we’ve asked you
All of you by name
We’d like to think that by fairness we can change
This country we are living in
We want to bring America together
And that starts with you in Congress getting along
And compromising
