If I Was A Tidal Wave Lyrics & Chords By Matthew Good

What should a patriotic official do when he knows that his Commander in Chief is leading his country over the cliff, is acting wrongly?

The Saudis are ever our friends and our allies
The President smokes cigars with their Princes on his lanai
Across the street a mother sleeps with her baby's ghost
Wrapped in pink and spotlights

If I was a tidal wave well you know that I'd
Rise up and crash your castle gate and leave you high and dry
Disappear you down this trail of busted years to ride the rails
And goodbyes

Well my name is propaganda
And my mama's pain is propaganda
And if I was a tidal wave
I'd let the Union fall
Yeah, if I was a tidal wave
I'd be first against the wall

Back in 1980 Mayor Young he sent the key
To the city of Detroit to praise the best of enemies
Who shook hands with devil, now he runs the D.O.D.
And spends lives

If I was a tidal wave well you know that I'd
Rise up and crash your castle gate and leave you high and dry
Disappear you down this trail of busted years to ride the rails
And goodbyes

Well my name is propaganda
My daddy's pain is propaganda
And if I was a tidal wave
From coast to coast I'd scream
Yeah, if I was a tidal wave
I'd wash this whole place clean
I'd wash this whole place clean

Whoo, Whoo
