[Land Shark]

“Bright Eyes” appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and opened some eyes with this protest song referencing election fraud among various other issues (Unfortunately it is referred to as "voter fraud"):

Lyrics "When the President Talks to God"

When the president talks to God
Are the conversations brief or long?
Does he ask to rape our women's' rights
And send poor farm kids off to die?
Does God suggest an oil hike
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
Are the consonants all hard or soft?
Is he resolute all down the line?
Is every issue black or white?
Does what God say ever change his mind
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
Does he fake that drawl or merely nod?
Agree which convicts should be killed?
Where prisons should be built and filled?
Which voter fraud must be concealed
When the president talks to God?





When the president talks to God
Does he ever think that maybe he's not?
That that voice is just inside his head
When he kneels next to the presidential bed
Does he ever smell his own bullshit
When the president talks to God?

1. is it me or

is the acceptance of election fraud theory gaining ground among Democrats as Bush's credibility and numbers are tanking?

[Land Shark]

5. it's gaining a bit i'm sure, but mostly people feel freer to Speak

2. WHOO HOO! NOMINATED AND KICKED

3. I think this is from several months ago

unless the clip I remember seeing was from Letterman or something...But I remember this happening awhile back.

It was pretty fucking awesome though :)

4. yes it was; and I have a song coming out soon

I went out and bought a BrightEyes CD after I saw that!...

BTW, I wrote a song that references election fraud too. I'm working on a recording now. I should have an mp3 in a couple weeks.

I don't want to let the cat out of the bag before it's ready, but here is the verse that mentiones the election:

They send our boys to fight
without the proper protection
while they fix the voting machines
steal another election

music is such a powerful way to reach out to people.

[NoBushSpokenHere]

6. Recommended .......n/t

7. this has already been through the rounds

when it aired on tv, it was news on all the blogs. brad featured it. it was on the "greatest" page of DU for quite some time. I think it's old news by now; that was at least 3 months ago.
