King George - W Bush

lyrics

The King is addressing his people today
He’s talkin’ a lot, but he’s got nothing to say
To hell with everybody, he’s doin’ it his way
Waitin’ on the Rapture, and the judgement day
That’s when the Gods will fix everything that’s broken
King George has spoken

The King and his advisers have laid out a plan
An alternate reality for mortal man
Spreadin’ Democracy out across the land
Bowing at the altar of supply and demand
Too bad the little guy’s the one that ends up chokin’
King George has spoken

Bridge: “9/11 changed everything”, he said
“I ain’t stoppin’ until every one of’em’s dead”
So how did we end up on the sands of Iraq?
That ain’t where they were, you better check your facts

The King is changin’ his story line again
The truth is just something for him to shape and bend
He sits up on his throne in the devil’s den
Hey, let’s close our eyes and count to ten
Maybe when we open them, we’ll see that he was just jokin (no way)
King George has spoken

-- solo -- -- bridge –

The King is addressing his people today
“We’re makin’ progress”, he says. “We’ve just got to stay”
A couple of trillion dollars is all you’ll have to pay
Might seem like a lot, but don’t worry, just pray
Is this all a bad dream, from which we soon will be awoken?
King George has spoken
