A couple of songs from the George Bush "America the Gullible" Songbook

George Bush's America the Beautiful
by Rick Stanley

Oh beautiful for specious lies
And fake bin Laden tapes
For yellow-cake uranium
and evidence that's baked.
America, America
There's oil there 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 Enron, 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!

This is not my work. I don't know who wrote it. I was watching University of California TV and saw it performed by the author who was a member of the audience and did it as a thank you to the playwrite of "The Vagina Monologues" whose name was Ensler. It's sung to the tune of our national anthem.


Oh, say can you see
Our democracy die?
We were dreaming of truth
But we're living a lie.
Now it's corporate greed
Over our children's need
The election bought and sold
By the ones with the gold.
And the media lies
They just want us to buy
And we're bullies world wide
While we play the good guy.
To save the world's children
It's time now to stand
For the sacredness of life
And our love of the land.
