Drinking beer with Eddie
Trashing people on the news
Eddie’s telling jokes
He’s got a great one about Ted Cruz
Suddenly he notices
A ticker ‘cross the screen
Now we’re headed down to Fayetteville
To be part of the scene
People say we don’t care
And we don’t see
We’re on the wrong side of history
But we’ve got these glasses on
No color in the lense
All we see is black and white
Outside the coliseum
Eddie’s almost drunk
Just one more round of Maker’s Mark
And he’ll get out of his funk
Inside, the noise is crazy
Eddie’s hootin’ at the press
He’s leaning on the banister
And beating on his chest
And people say we don’t care
And we don’t see
We’re on the wrong side of history
But we’re the ones
Who line up out the door
We're not losing anymore
The banister it breaks in two
And Eddie starts to fall
His body bounces down the stairs
I make the 911 call
At the hospital ER
The triage nurse just sighs
‘Cause Eddie’s got an insurance card
From 1995
And people say we don’t care
And we don’t see
We’re on the wrong side of history
We've got these glasses on
No color in the lense
All we see is black and white
