Melodi: What a wonderful world...

Don't know much about history. Don't know much foreign policy.
I don't know the names of men I grill, Or implications of the seats I fill. 
But I do know who has paid my way. For corporate interests and the NRA
What a wonderful world this will be.

Don't know much about ecology. Cutting trees has always worked for me. And 
I don't know about the women's vote, And I can't think of any bill I wrote. 
But there's one thing that I know for sure, If the rich stay rich and the 
poor stay poor What a wonderful world this will be.
I never claimed to be an A student, but I don't have to be. If you have 
deep pockets and sell nuclear rockets You're a friend of my family.

Don't know much about air pollution. Don't know much about the 
Constitution. Don't care much for solar energy. There's nothing in it for 
my friends and me. And if we can't find any on our soil We can go to war 
and get more oil, and What a wonderful world this will be.

Don't know much about the driving rules. Don't know much about the public 
schools. Don't know why the inner cities fail Why can't folks get dad to 
pay for Yale? And if the issues causing you to lose Are never covered in 
the evening news, What a wonderful world this will be.
I never claimed to be an A student, but I don't have to be. If you have a 
brother who's the Florida Governor, the result's no mystery.

Don't know much about history. Don't know much foreign policy. Don't 
know  'bout paying off a debt. I never had to pay one off yet. But I do 
know who has paid my way. For special interests in the USA 
What a wonderful world this will be.
