Lyrics

"(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding"

Fans still watch the ‘Skins
Tho this season’s done
Losing to the Niners reinforces the mediocrity
The QB sacks himself
He just looks so lost
So we’ve only got shame and losing, and misery

And each fan I know feels like this inside
There's one thing we wanna know
What's the story with quarterback Robert Griffin? Ohhhh!
How’d this happen to our savior Robert Griffin?

So we all watch on
Through troubled games
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
Just where are the points?
And who runs this defense?
And where is the harmony?
Team harmony

'Cause each season that goes slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's the story with quarterback Robert Griffin? Ohhhh
How’d this happen to our savior Robert Griffin?

An angry, disappointed tirade of a parody of "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding" By Elvis Costello and The Attractions

    John, the Nats defense IS comical while the Skins QB situation casts a pall over us all. Thanks for your kind words.

    I jumped stumbled upon your Elvis Costello cover after I posted my own "What's So Funny?" jingle - whoops! I hope that's not a breach of TK Jingles decorum. At least I got to hear your version - great stuff!
