The Day All The Yes Men Said No - Bobby Bare Lyrics

The Day All The Yes Men Said No

Roland Wright arrived at work seven minutes past
He told the boss to take his job and shove it up his ass
He walked out in the sunshine, felt the cool fresh breezes blow
On the day all the yes men said no

Miss Mercedes Miller, she was filling out her tax
Payin' for the monkeys on everybody's backs
She closed up her purse and told the taxman where to go
On the day all the yes men said no
And their voices rolled like thunder through the stinkin' city streets
Till the buildings, they all shook down to their stones
And it rolled across the mountains, and it echoed across the sea
The day that all the yes men said no, no, no
On the day all the yes men said no

Corporal Tommy Edwards trainin' new recruits
He put down his rifle, said it feels like sh*t to shoot
Marched them down through the farmland to watch the tall corn grow
On the day all the yes men said no

Nancy Greeley woke up from a twelve-year troubled dream
As her husband screamed for breakfast and the kids all simply screamed
But she drove out to the freeway, headin' where, she didn't know
On the day all the yes men said no

And their voices rolled like thunder through the stinkin' city streets
Till the buildings, they all shook down to their stones
And it rolled across the mountains, and it echoed across the sea
The day that all the yes men said no, no, no
On the day all the yes men said no, no, no
On the day that the yes men said no
