We are amazed but not amused
By all the things you say that you'll do
Though much concerned but not involved
With decisions that are made by you

Telling how you are gonna change right from wrong
'Cause if you really want to hear our views

You haven't done nothin'.
Stevie Wonder, "You Haven't Done Nothin'", written about Nixon following his resignation.
