Republican establishment crushed by Tea Party

James N. sends this 1964 Bob Dylan song, “When the Ship Comes In,” to the GOP leadership in New York and Delaware:

Oh the time will come up
When the winds will stop
And the breeze will cease to be breathin’
Like the stillness in the wind
Befpre the hurricane begins
The hour that the ship comes in.

And the seas will split
And the ship will hit
And the sands on the shoreline, they’ll be shakin’
Then the tide will sound
And the wind will pound
And the morning will be breakin’.

Oh the fishes will laugh
As they swim out of the path
And the seagulls, they’ll be smilin’
And the rocks on the sand
Will proudly stand
The hour that the ship comes in.

And the words that are used
For to get the ship confused
Will not be understood as they’re spoken
For the chains of the sea
Will have busted in the night
And be buried at the bottom of the ocean.

A song will lift
As the mainsail shifts
And the boat drifts unto the shoreline
And the sun will respect
Every face on the deck
The hour that the ship comes in.

And the sands will roll
Out a carpet of gold
For your weary toes to be a-touchin’
And the ship’s wise men
Will remind you once again
That the whole wide world is watchin’.

Oh the foes will rise
With the sleep in their eyes
And they’ll jerk from their beds and think they’re dreamin’
But they’ll pinch themselves and squeal
And know that it’s for real
The hour that the ship comes in.

Then they’ll raise their hands
Sayin’ we’ll meet all your demands
But we’ll shout from the bow your days are numbered
And like Pharaoh’s tribe
They’ll be drownded in the tide
And like Goliath, they’ll be conquered.
