Yesterday [in George Bush’s America]

(tune of the Beatle’s “Yesterday”)

 

Yesterday, duck and cover seemed so far away

Now it looks like nukes are back to stay.

Let's not go back

To yesterday.

 

Suddenly, George Orwell's books are clear to me

Nineteen eighty-four's reality.

Oh, yesterday

Came suddenly.

 

Why Bush bombed Iraq

I don't know

He couldn't say.

I am so confused

The reason changes

Every day.

 

Yesterday, the right to protest war was A-Okay

Now McCarthyism's back in play.

Let's not go back

To yesterday.

 

Why’d they handcuff me?

Sure beats me,

They wouldn't say.

I just honked my horn

Now they're taking me away.

 

Yesterday, I thought that Homeland Security

Was a part of Nazi Germany.

Let's not go back

To yesterday

 

Mmmm.mmmm.mmmm.mmmm.mmmm.mmmm.mmmm.
