George Bush’s America the Beautiful

(tune of America the Beautiful)

Oh beautiful for specious lies

And fake bin Laden tapes

For yellow-cake uranium

and evidence that’s baked.

America, America

There’s oil don’t you see?

Though it’s a sham,

I’ll bomb Saddam

So there’ll be more for me!

Oh beautiful for corporate crime

For Kellogg, Brown, and Root

For Gates and Lay and Uncle Dick

God bless the Carlyle Group!

America, America

Your pensions have been spent

On drugs and clothes

For CEOs

You’ll never see a cent.

Oh beautiful for PATRIOT Act

That makes dissenters fear

If they protest

Their false arrest

We’ll lock them up for years.

America, America

With Bush you must agree

You’d best suck up

Or get locked up

For all eternity.

Oh beautiful for greenhouse gas

And glowing toxic waste

For Yucca Mountain ‘s majesty

And air that you can taste.

America, America

Who needs clean air or trees?

They’ll be no snow

In Idaho

But check out Boise Beach!

Oh beautiful for deficit

It’s bigger by the day

For joblessness and homelessness

And debts we cannot pay.

America, America

You’ll need that SUV

When you’ve no bed

To rest your head

Fold down that big, back seat!

Oh beautiful for mushroom cloud

Spreading o’er the plain

But I’ll be safe beneath the ground

While you’re sucking black rain.

America, America

I cannot tell a lie

Just buy duct tape

And plastic drapes

And kiss your ass good-bye!
