Every time I fill my tank

I do a double take

It feels like 1977

There must be some mistake

The price of gas went up up up

We didn’t fix it then

Now It’s the same ‘ol same ‘ol done that twice

It’s a déjà vu of a déjà vu  all over again

In 1977 we were gonna get things done

30 years  later  and we ‘re right back here at square one

The prices ‘ll never go down down down

We didn’t fix it then

It’s a been there done that gimme a break

It’s a déjà vu of a déjà vu  all over again

I thought a lot about the things that maybe I could do

I’d write to my state congressman but he doesn’t have a clue

If you were born in 1960 you were drivin’ then

Now It’s the same ‘ol same ‘ol done that twice

It’s a déjà vu of a déjà vu  all over again

speech from “Crisis of Confidence” Speech by President Carter, 1979.  Worth reading and listening to... maybe we’ll get it this time....

I came from the gas station, and thought, haven’t I done this before?

I went online, and found the great speech from President Carter, 1977, and let me tell you, we are right back there again!

The words you hear are from his June 1977 speech.  This man was WAY AHEAD of his time, let me tell you!

Don’t quote me, but if this is REALLY like 1977, the nest thing is gas shortages - sure hope not!
