All of these songs are available to legally download as mp3s on various places on the internet. A google search for the artist or title should get you to the right place.

Please listen and enjoy! And please let me know of other songs to add to my collection!

6. Here's one I wrote and recorded
with a little help from George Harrison....
Spreadit around if you'd like. I gave a copy on CD to Amy Goodman. I'm hoping she'll play it on Democracy Now

http://www.fritzmyer.com/tunes/bushman.mp3

Here's the lyrics:
Bush, Man lyrics by Margie Perez
Sung to the tune of Taxman written by George Harrison

Let me show you hypocrisy
His own brand of Democracy
Cos he’s a Bush, man Yeah he’s a Bush, man

To the poor he’s so unkind
And every child he leaves behind
Cos he’s a Bush, man yeah he’s a Bush, man

If you clean the air, he’ll pollute the soil
If you tell the truth, his lies you’ll spoil
If you marry gay, his blood will boil
If we go to war, it’s over oil

Bush, man!
Cos he’s a Bush, man yeah he’s a Bush, man.

A policy he’ll recreate (Aahh Mr. Cheney)
For 50,000 bucks a plate (Aahh Mr. Rove)
Cos he’s a Bush, man yeah, he’s a Bush, man

Now my advice for those concerned
Let’s fight to keep him to one term
Cos he’s a Bush, man yeah, he’s a Bush, man

And you're voting for Kerry, not him!!!!!
BUSH, MAN!

16. You're right.
I feel the same way about John Prine's "Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore."

10. check out "Songs & Artists that Inspired Fahrenheit 9/11"
It may not be news to you, but it was to me. I saw an ad on TV last night & Amazon has it. "Fortunate Son", "The Revolution Starts Now", etc., etc.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00049QM6S/qid=1097266559/sr=8-3/ref=pd_csp_3/104-7020771-7149527?v=glance&s=music&n=507846#product-details

14. That's really cool.
When we left the theater after seeing Fahrenheit 9/11, my friends and I were talking about how great the music was. I'm glad there's an album.

A great song he wrote right after the first Bush got deselected. Retooled for shrub.

"If you're feeling down,
I got 3 words, they're gonna cheer you up:
Former President Bush!"

22. Incubus - Megalomaniac
They claimed the song wasn't about Bush and the lyrics could certainly be applied to any old powermad dictator. Watch the video though and you'll see * portrayed as Hitler and an eagle eating people's heads. So I'd say it's about Bush.

23. I Hate Republicans
Check out "I Hate Republicans" by the Happytones. A rockin' little tune! They have an updated version as well as the original 2000 version. Also, some great new tunes, such as "School Doesn't Matter", "Make the Pie Higher" and more.
