A poetic indictment of the George W. Bush presidency.
Upon the finish of that phony election
You should have taken the proper action
There’s no way Florida should have been given to you
Unless you won the vote of the Democratic Jew
Instead of facing facts and calling Mister Gore to concede
You stole the keys to the White House and began to mislead
First up came Nine/Eleven
A tragedy you spun into Heaven
Osama, al Qaeda was all you had to say
‘Til we were off to the desert to save the day
But instead of finding Osama, our public enemy number one
We revisited the Bush Vendetta, started by father, continued by son
You baited the hook with Saddam Hussein, Iraq, and the WMD
And oh, the American people swallowed the bait ever so foolishly
The mission was “accomplished,” just a few months in
With millions of rednecks proclaiming “we got him!”
But as months went by and body counts rose
There were no WMDs for you to dispose
Meanwhile at home, the backlash became great
And November 2004 promised a fresh, clean slate
But you and your boy Rove continued your trend
Of lies, trickery, and deceit to get the win
With the election now gone and no one to answer to
Operation: Iraqi Freedom began to look like Vietnam II
But thankfully, it now seems that your jig is finally up
Americans have tired of your foreign policy: “back off and shut up”
With hostility in the Middle East and Asia traced back to you
A change of scenery in Washington is long overdue
And while it is impractical to hope you are impeached
A Democratic Congress is very much within reach
With the House and Senate out of your grasp
America can finally take you to task
Soon enough, this failed, rich-man’s experiment will end
And all the friendships you’ve shattered will mend
I’ll ask one question before this new era hits
Tell me, Mr. President, why did you do it?
