Daylight Savings Song

One of my friends was lamenting the ills of Daylight Savings Time and considering petitioning the government to put an end to the hour-robbing practice. I agreed, but thought the revolution needed a theme song. So I present to you "Daylight Savings Song" (with the caveat that it's just silly friendship stuff and that I'm no Weird Al):

Set to the tune of Tom Petty's "Don't Do Me Like This." 
I'll wait while you go find your favorite YouTube or mp3 version. 
Got it? OK. Ready? Hit play!

I was talking with a friend of mine
She was wonderin' about the time.
Said she had this hour a day ago
But woke up and where’d it go?
Then she said her kids were all messed up
That they almost missed the bus!
Yeah, someday it’s just gotta die:
Daylight Savings Time

Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
What if I don’t want this crazy?
Don't do me like that

Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Why don’t we just change this, maybe?
Don't do me like that

Listen Senate, can’t we agree?
This is just stupidity.
Since you are in the public eye
Maybe we could give change a try?
But you know it’s like you are deaf
Or not thinking about what is best.
Or maybe you’ll just tell us lies
‘bout Daylight Savings Time.

Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
What if I don’t want this crazy?
Don't, don’t, don’t, don’t!

Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Why don’t we just change this, maybe?
Don't do me like that

'Cause someone in Government
Has to be saying,
"This law just can’t last that long."
People don’t want it ...and they are sayin'
We can't take it no more

Listen Senate, can’t we agree?
This is just stupidity
Since you are in the public eye
Maybe we could give change a try?
But you know it’s like you are deaf
Or not thinking about what is best.
Or maybe you’ll just tell us lies
‘bout Daylight Savings Time.

Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
What if I don’t want this crazy?
Don't, don’t, don’t, don’t!

Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Why don’t we just change this, maybe?
Don't do me like that
