Original Song: We've Been Lied To

This hastily-recorded original has been on my mind for awhile, and I wanted to get it on the blog as a last post before the election. It's in the style of an old-fashioned protest song. Lyrics are below.

CHORUS:

We've Osama Been Lied To by George Bush who rushed us into war
That's his weapon of mass distraction while the Jihads are sprouting near and far
Every unborn American will be paying the price for this huge mistake
Cheney's pockets are Halliburstin', and the soldiers lie inside their Abu Graves.

Thieves and liars stole my country
Now they're stealing from Iraq
And George is way too busy praying
To be bothered with statistics, laws, or facts

And Dubya has one more religion
When he's not reading about goats
He kneels before that ol' almighty dollar
Which comes in handy when you're buying votes

CHORUS

Does anybody still remember
When a madman and his thugs
Pumped up his people's fear and anger
So hatred felt just like a drug

Throw in a pile of propaganda
Blend together church and state
Now set aside the constitution
We're mixing up a batch of hate


CHORUS

Things are going very badly
This is not the country of my birth
We need a leader with compassion
For the good, honest people of the earth

CHORUS
