who feels like SINGING today??

[nostamj]

YOU’RE A MORAN (to the tune of ‘That’s Amore!’)

IF YOU GAG ON FRENCH FRIES
AND THEN SWALLOW THE LIES,
YOU’RE A MORAN
IF THE FLAG MAKES YOU SWOON
WHILE YOU SING THE SAME TUNE,
YOU’RE A MORAN

FOX SHILLS SING,
‘WHAT A HAPPY WAR, WHAT A HAPPY WAR’
LITTLE KING, HE WANTS ONE MORE.
BOMBS WILL GLOW,
‘WHAT A PRETTY SHOW, WHAT A PRETTY SHOW’
WHAT A MAD BRAGGADOCIO!

IF YOU THINK THAT IRAQ
WAS BEHIND THE ATTACK
YOU’RE A MORAN
WHEN YOU SAY WAR IS PEACE
WHILE YOU’RE FREEDOMS DECREASE,
YOU’RE JUST NUTS.

WHEN YOU CAN’T SPELL YOUR NAME
STICK WITH FRIENDS JUST THE SAME
AND FLAME BAIT
AT DU, WE SEE THROUGH,
AND IT’S OBVIOUS YOU
ARE A MORAN!

To the tune of “Paperback Writer” (and with apologies to the Beatles)

FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR

I HEARD THE RIGHT WING AND THEIR LATEST SPIN
SAYING KERRY WAFFLES AND THAT’S SUCH A SIN
IT’S BASED ON THE FAXES FROM A MAN NAMED ROVE
BUT TO KEEP HIS JOB, BUSH HAS GOT TO BE A FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR
FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR

EV’RY PHONY PROMISE, EV’RY PHONY CLAIM
THEY WRAP IN A FLAG AND A PHONY NAME
SO HE GIVES SPEECHES TO THE BUSSED-IN CROWDS
IT’S NO EASY JOB, BECAUSE BUSH IS SUCH A FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR
FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR
FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR

WHILE THEIR TAX CUT SCAM RAISED THE DEFICIT
THEY’RE ALL SO RICH, THEY DON’T GIVE A SHIT
AND THEY’RE MAKING PROFITS OFF THEIR DIRTY WAR
SO BE A PATRIOT, AND JUST CALL BUSH A FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR
FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR

IF YOU DARE CROSS THEM, THEY’LL EXPOSE YOUR WIFE
IF THEY CLAIM THEY’RE HELPING JUST EXPECT MORE STRIFE
WHILE YOU COUNT THE CHILDREN WHO GET LEFT BEHIND
PASS THE KOOL-AID UP AND REMEMBER HE’S A FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR
FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR
FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR

THE BALLAD OF THE SWIFT BOAT VETS (with apologies–i guess–to Barry Sadler)

LYING TRAITORS FILL THE AIR
FOR THE TRUTH, THEY DO NOT CARE
WATCH THEM SMEAR, WITHOUT REGRETS
THOSE FEW FOOLS, CALLED THE SWIFT BOAT VETS

Chorus:
FILLED WITH LIES, THEY BEAT THEIR CHESTS
MAD WITH RAGE OVER BRAVE PROTESTS
THEY WORK FOR BUSH WITH THEIR VAGUE THREATS
THESE FEW FOOLS, CALLED THE SWIFT BOAT VETS

TRAINED BY ROVE TO MINE HIS THEMES
TRAINED IN VICIOUS, MINDLESS MEMES
MEN WHO SPEW THEIR FALSE VIGNETTES
PROUD TO BE SLIMMING SWIFT BOAT VETS

Chorus:
FILLED WITH LIES, THEY BEAT THEIR CHESTS
MAD WITH RAGE OVER BRAVE PROTESTS
THEY WORK FOR BUSH WITH THEIR VAGUE THREATS
THESE FEW FOOLS, CALLED THE SWIFT BOAT VETS

HERE AT HOME, THE YOUNG WIVES WAIT
WILL THEIR BRAVE MEN, FACE THE SAME FATE?
BUSH WILL USE THEIR SACRIFICE
NEVER KNOWING HOW DEAR THE PRICE

YOUR SILVER WINGS ARE A SICK FRAUD
YOUR LYING ADS SHOULD BE OUTLAWED
YOU'LL BE EXPOSED, I'LL WIN MY BETS
NOTHING LOWER, THAN THE SWIFT BOAT VETS.

Chorus:
FILLED WITH LIES, THEY BEAT THEIR CHESTS
MAD WITH RAGE OVER BRAVE PROTESTS
THEY WORK FOR BUSH WITH THEIR VAGUE THREATS
THESE FEW FOOLS, CALLED THE SWIFT BOAT VETS

It's such a change in behaviour the rest of my cow-orkers are cowering in the corner and somebody's on the phone looking worried.
