lyrics

Well, hey there Sammy, you look like hell
Did you run outta guns and dreams to sell?
Well, that's alright, 'cuz your schemin' is through
You're giving pills to teens, but you won't sell weed
You keep on yappin' while the world keeps laughing at you
So, what's an uncle to do?

Now I hate to appear faithless,
but I can't keep waiting ages
The world is changing paces,
Will you show up at the races?

Cuz, it's a new year, new me
New opportunities to compare
Now there's a crowd outside of the House screamin' "Where's my healthcare?"
Sammy, are you in there?

Now you’ve Saigon and done it all again
20 years in the mountains, looking for a plan
So why'd you bug out and leave your cash/cache in Kabul?

Always hand-over-heart for the Pledge at school
They told me that's what a good little nephew's to do
Some of the teachers that taught me, they weren’t so cool

Well, it’s a new year, new me
New ideologies to lay bare
And there’s a march at a fever pitch rising in the town square
Sammy, are you in there?

Think twice, Sam
Listen to my advice
Think of Columbia,
Beautiful wife

In the old days, you were generous and warm
Feeding the masses through our land that was torn

You were our golden boy, there's still hope in that image
You could realise those ideals if your heart is still in it

Oh Sammy, tell me
Can you give me any sign you still care?
I would love to believe you do, but you just don't seem fair

Well, it's a new year, new me
Face the same shady entities and affairs
No, we won't be fooled again by that pointed death stare
Sammy, are you in there?
