The Pedulum

The Pendulum

George swore he was the compassionate conservative selection

Hanging chads instead of niggahs, his neocons stole the election

Tax cuts were his single mantra, and he sang it like Sinatra

Sombitch gave it all to the rich, left the poor without a stitch,

No child left behind, could’a meant kill em all in his mind.

To really line their pockets, gotta use bombs, jets n’ rockets,

911 paved the way, got the Taliban and let Osama get away,

The Middle East takeover plot was In play ,

Made Afghanistan and Iraq pets

Saudi puppets in Mecca, Israeli allies poised,

Don’t worry folks heck naw, its just me n the boys!

So whom do we have to thank?

The folks who his daddy used to rank

The Bushwhack cult, led by George the elder,

Took control of the world’s gas tank.

Cheney, Wolfowitz, and Rumsfeld went helter skelter,

W used terror to control what Americans think.

al-Qaida and Osama made us all blink

Before long The Dixie Chicks latest song was being sung,

And there was the sudden swift swing of the Pendulum.

Folks began to see their plan for world domination,

That we were all at the beck n’ call of the corporation.

And 3 years later what do we see?

No WMD, no quick victory,

nothing but the glorification of mediocrity.

Daily torrents of lies and hypocrisy,

constant attacks on our democracy.

He’ll leave a helluva legacy, trillions in debt,

Foreign oil dependency, the planet’s death

Body bags compounding, the national debt astounding,

Katrina showed Homeland Security wasn’t how it’s sounding

Kanye said what needed to be said; suddenly states aren’t so red

W knows the time has come for the fateful swing of the pendulum

Retired Generals coming out the woodwork to say Rumsfeld’s a jerk,

Like Fema’s Brownie W loves his work, instead he fired Powell

Or Colin threw in the towel disagreeing with Rumsfeld’s avowals

And when you stand at the pump paying $4 a gallon for gas,

Try to remember who it is that’s screwing your ass.

W’s and his boys, the Ken Lays, Tom Delays,

Libby, the white house he said she said,

Bush’s bullshit has been finally exposed;

We listen to him now while holdin’ our nose.
