It's almost over. I can't believe I haven't heard this until now. Check it out...


I even dragged up some lyrics-

I can't take it no more
I can't take it no more
I'm sick and tired of your dirty little war
I can't take it no more

You know you lied about the casualties
You know you lied about the WMD's
You know you lied about the detainees
All over this world

Stop talking about staying the course
You keep a-beating that old dead horse
You know you lied about how we went to war
I can't take it no more

I can't take it
I can't take it

I bet you never saw the old school yard
I bet you never saw the national guard
Your daddy wrote a check and there you are
Another fortunate son

I can't take it no more
I can't take it no more
I'm sick and tired of your dirty little war
I can't take it no more

1. My wife, visiting her folks in Ohio, actually called me tonight from a show with

John and his band. Heard him (poorly) through the phone.

There are some / a lot of artists who do tell the truth about "politics" in their art.

Some people do listen and learn because of the creative people in our world.

2. Here's my favorite political tune.

That's amazing! Now if it was that tune, it would be quite a coincidence.

I heard this on KMUD while driving along one day. I couldn't believe my ears. And by the way, the guy who wrote it just won a lawsuit against the FBI! Not to mention, it's from 2002!

First they went and stole the election
The Supreme Court went and made the selection
The corporations gave the direction
They said "Bush it"

He went and hired his daddy's staff
And a few guys from Nixon's just for a laugh
Now the world is his oyster to split in half
Bush it

Now though he'd never been to a foreign land
And map of the world he'd never understand
Right up his back went the puppeteer's hand
Bush it

Bush it the old President's son
Bush it--that's the way it's done
Bush it--for all of your friends
Who knows where this whole thing's gonna end

Then someone goes and topples the towers
Took years to build destroyed it in hours
The FBI and CIA said give us more powers
Bush it

Then the puppeteer says hey I got a plan
Though the guys were all Saudis lets bomb Afganistan
Then camp out with our close friends in Pakistan
So let's Bush it

But that wasn't the end to these tragic attacks
Some used the U.S. mail to send anthrax
Kinda funny how it went just to Democrats
Bush it

Bush it--The old President's boy
Bush it--He's got a brand new toy
Bush it--down old Texas way
Hey now look at Georgie Junior play

Vice President Cheney meets with Enron of course
On how to manage our oil resource
Give 'em rolling blackouts and a secret task force
We'll Bush it.

The Enron goes bankrupt after stealing us blind
But they left a trail of campaign cash behind
But when asked for his records Cheney big time declined
He said Bush it.

Now before 9-1-1 Bush wasn't too bright
Did Osama Bin laden show him the light?
They're both CIA boys and they know how to fight
They Bush it

Bush it--to the limit and then
Bush it--and Bush it again
Bush it--and make no mistake
There is just so much that we can take

He's got two drunken daughters and a drug addict niece
But that doesn't matter, he'll just call up the police
And say you can keep all the others, but I want their release
Bush it

Now he did booze and coke and he doesn't deny it
But he swears that he quit and he's on a new diet
Now he passes out on pretzels--does anyone buy it
Bush it

Now George is an artist and he's trying to sell it
He's a bit of a devil--doesn't think we can tell it
It's piled up so high you can't help but smell it
Bush-it

Bush it--The new President's song
Bush it--you know he can't be wrong
Bush it--out of the President's way
What more can a real American say

4. I always dug his guitar playing on those old CCR records.

He's nearly a legend, and the song has got a good message, but it's pretty terrible on its own merits.
