Editor\u2019s Note: Like Arrias and his Muse, those of us who are not Georgians, and whose teams were crushed on the way to this new-fangled National Championship scheme can only sigh, and then strangely begin to sing along\u2026<\/p>\n

Author\u2019s Note: We Georgians despite the Dawgs beating the ever-loving snot out of the Tide last night were having a Pulp Fiction kind of day, when even our fat broad of color sent her regrets to PresBid\u2019s visit today in Atlanta \u2013 something about her sock drawer, I suppose. We used to work with, if not like, these rambling beltway types. No more. They\u2019re like old disgruntled ex\u2019s.<\/p>\n
So, as my mind wandered fast past things up in Hotlanta over to that film and one of its tunes, this draft resulted.<\/p>\n

\nWe keep hearing they’re concerned about our happiness
\nBut all the thought they’re giving us is just their bad conscience, we spose
\nIf we were walking in their shoes, we wouldn’t worry none
\nWhile they and their friends are worrying ’bout us
\nWe\u2019re having lots of fun<\/p>\n
Puffing smokes by the pack, by the fire out back
\nKilling time winter, spring, summer and fall, don’t want them to bother us at all
\nShooting the shit until dawn, our ATMs never overdrawn
\nWatching DC play solitaire with their decks of fifty-one
\nWe\u2019re smoking cigarettes, watching beltway clowns playing Captain Kangaroo
\nNow don’t tell us we’re needing something for them to do<\/p>\n
Last night we dressed in mess blues pretending we were on the town
\nAs long as we can sip n scheme, it’s hard to keep us sailors down
\nSo they shouldn’t give a thought to us, we\u2019re really doing fine
\nThey can always find us right here, we\u2019re having quite a time<\/p>\n
Puffing smokes by the pack, by the fire out back
\nKilling time winter, spring, summer and fall, don’t want them to bother us at all
\nShooting the shit until dawn, our ATMs never overdrawn
\nWatching DC play solitaire with their decks of fifty-one
\nWe\u2019re smoking cigarettes, watching beltway clowns playing Captain Kangaroo
\nNow don’t tell us we’re needing something for them to do<\/p>\n
It’s good to see each other, getting older, despite looking a fright
\nAnyway, our eyes are accustomed to these days\u2019s low light
\nAnd our shoes no longer trod the City\u2019s streets of hard concrete
\nEach day, we gotta go back to the bunk room and make our day complete<\/p>\n
Puffing smokes by the pack, by the fire out back
\nKilling time winter, spring, summer and fall, don’t want them to bother us at all
\nShooting the shit until dawn, our ATMs never overdrawn
\nWatching DC play solitaire with their decks of fifty-one
\nWe\u2019re smoking cigarettes, watching beltway clowns playing Captain Kangaroo
\nNow don’t tell us we’re needing something for them to do<\/p>\n
Now don’t tell us we’re needing something for them to do
\nNow don’t tell us we’re needing something for them to do<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
