The Ballad of John McCain (apologies to CCR)

[DFW]

1.)
Long as I remember
Talking straight was out
Crooked politicians
Looking for some clout

We thought John was different
Now we feel just pain
And I wonder, still I wonder
Who’s John McCain?
2.)
Back home in Virginia
Macaca was a laugh
No one ever figured
McCain for such a gaffe.

In a Baghdad market,
Comments so inane
And I wonder, still I wonder
Who’s John McCain?
3.)
You hear people saying
A hero he must be
Go through what he went through
(and) Keep your sanity

Once they called him Maverick
Now they call him lame
And I wonder, still I wonder
Who’s John McCain?

1. oops--forgot to mention:

Sung to the tune of "Who'll Stop The Rain"

2. guitar solo at the end

is still running through my head! I'm showing my age--I knew what tune it was as soon as I started reading the lyrics! :rofl:

3. Guess it doesn't make me a gen-Xer either

But I just celebrated my 25th wedding anniversary yesterday, so
why deny it? So I'm a fossil, so sue me! LOL
