Mr politician, your lying on TV You make the poorest suffer As the guilty rich walk free That's the power of your corruption Use it grind em down You grind us down See the people marching They've taken to the streets Your silencing their voices With a tattoo of truncheon beats They're the muscle of your corruption Use them ti grind em down You grind em down Mr Politician, get this in your head Those who oppress the people Often end up dead Remember good king Charlie And how we took his head We ground him down We'll grind you down

I woke up this morning and took a look in the bathroom mirror And found that over night I had grown a long ZZ Top type beard On my head was a Stetson hat On my arm a rattlesnake tattoo And I found my self wishing to uphold my second amendment rights to carry a loaded firearm at all time Yup I think I'm TURNIN' TEXAN I immediately set out to surround my property with a high chain-link fence to keep out Mexicans and other undesirables And traded in my economic family run about for a v8 pick up with a a gun rack I ripped up my English cottage garden and planted a sea of yellow roses And in my back yard I started drilling for oil I remembered the Alamo I know the way to Amarillo and I started taking an unhealthy interest in republican party politics Yup I think I'm TURNIN' TEXAN Haw haw haw haw Yup Yeeeeehaaaaa I Think I'm TURNIN' TEXAN
