Conservatives need some motivation in matters economic and financial.

Don't Give Up (Apologies to Peter Gabriel - Don't Give Up and Big Time)

Hi There!
Oops wrong song
Let's just poem along
to Don't Give Up
a great song
In this proud state we grew up strong
we were wanted all along
we were taught to fight
taught to win
we never thought we could fail
Nothing left of California Dreams
we are people whose dreams have deserted
you've changed your home
changed your address
but no state wants you when you lose
Don't Give Up
Cause you still have friends
Don't give up
You're not beaten yet
Don't give up
We know you can make it good
Though you saw smog all around
Never though you'd be affected
thought that we'd never go
it's so strange the way winds blow
Drove a truck out of state
leaving the place you were born in Sacramento
as daylight broke you saw the earth
the trees were still evergreen
Don't give up
You still have hope
Don't give up
this is still a great state
Don't give up
Cause somewhere there's a place in California
you belong
Rest your head
You worry to much
It's gonna be allright
When times get round
you can count on us
for gub'ment assistance
Don't give up
Please don't give up
You've got to fly out of here
You can't take anymore
Gonna sit on that flight
With your arms at your side
Whatever may come
and Whatever may go
that flight has flown
that flight has flown
Moved out to another state
tried hard to settle down
for every job
so many men
so many men
all saying please
Don't give up
Cause you have friends
Don't give up
You are not the only one
Don't give up
No reason to leave the state
Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up now
We're proud of this state
Don't give up
You know it's never been easy
Don't give up
Cause I believe there's a place
a place you belong in California

Thanks. Here's another. It's kinda more a song parody, but yaknow, hehe.

Conservative Decryption (Apologies to The Bangles - Walk Like An Egyptian)

All the old white men for the tombs
They do the grim fandango don't you know
If they move too quick (ohwhey oh)
They're falling down like a domino
All the bizaare men on the right
They got the money from government
Gold fillagree (oh whey oh)
They snap their fingers for their servants
Foreign types in navy white say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like a servant
Blonde waitress take their trays
The spin around and they wish never more
They got pinched (oh whey oh)
They drop their drinks to watch waitress bendover
All the conservatives giving dirty looks
They ignore the foreign man
When the phone rings (oh whey oh)
They're talking like conservatives
All the conservatives say
Ay oh why oh, why have we lost control
Talk like a Conservative
Slide up to Wall Street make your play
Shift your stocks to gold and pull away
Life is so hard you know (oh whey oh)
So moan about your high tax
If you want to find all the cops
call 911 and mayor's name drop
They sing and dance (oh whey oh)
Spin the lights at richies demand around the block
All the Conservatives with their yen
The party boys call political donation
And the Conservatives know (oh whey oh)
They walk the line like conservatives
All the cops at the donut shop say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Decrypting Conservatives

"Do people in California have any clue how pissed off the adjacent states are at California's attitude??"
Everyone Hates Number One!

Look at them Californians so obnoxious
about their fun in the sun
and their great oranges
how dare they care for their poor
while we pinch our pennies forevermore
how dare they have a free market
upon which they capitalize
to buy land in other states
when they flee from Californicate
How could they think we love Hollywood
why they is weird down in their 'hoods
Wait when will that next great blockbuster
make it's way to our little cluster
of miserable homes and miserable people
while we envy California
and all it's great people
If we all could we'd move to Californey
and that is clear from your postey
so be knowing that we know you is secretly jealous
since we can read between the lines
when you tell us
how great your state is
when compared
to California and our unfair share
of wine, women and song
and all that goes with
and thus I offer a free tip
live your life and live it well
but of your thoughts on California
we are not really caring
for we know that in truth
everyone hates number one
and ain't a despairin...

Overrun by Hipsters!

Overrun by hipsters
what a strange fate
but it, I will contemplate
Overrun by hipster
hipper than thou
to hip by half
won't buy new clothes off the rack
wants t-shirts
retro is fine
hopefully made of hemp vine
Overrun by hipster
and their funky sounds
why do they listen to such obscure music?
Overrun by hipster
and their half hippie ways
why you can smell them
from far away
Overrun by hipster
who in their own time
will be overrun by whoever
admires the clime
Overrun by hipster
in their Doc Martin's
stomping about
Overrun by hipster
I have to report
that Mamared is ambling on
to Washington
but watch out Mamared
cause Seattle is known
as kind to liberals
and there hipsters roam
