The Lyrics

the story of Bush's final month of campaigning in 2004, told from Bush's perspective

Oh Cheney, don't it look real heavy right now?
Can't I read off something from a screen?
Yeah, I've never done something quite like this
Man, it feels like tonight that Kerry might win
Cheney, they know better than to try and pretend
Cheney, Colin Powell never told me 'bout this
I say... yeah yeah!
Yeah Yeah!
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

Debating is the hardest part
Foreign Policy is so hard
They take me on faith
I fake it from the heart
Debating is the hardest part

Well, yeah, I'm gonna chase some politicians around
All the corporations in town
Yeah, then Karl Rove had funded real good
Those billions of dough that I need right now
Cheney, you're the only one with greater cash cows
So now I'm gonna win like a Tzar in Moscow
I say... yeah yeah!
Yeah Yeah!
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

Debating is the hardest part
Battle pay they get, left in shards
I hide behind faith
They think it's from the heart
Debating is the hardest part

[Rove provides words of encouragement]
"Oh, don't let it get you, man.
Don't let it get to you.
Don't let it get you, man.
Don't let it get to you."

[Bush then formulates his plan of action against Kerry]
He'll play the heathen part
I'll be the lyin' fool
Ignorance won so far
Media likes it too

Yeah yeah!
Yeah Yeah!
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

Debating is the hardest part
Acting holier than thou art
I play upon hate
A terrorist at heart
Debating is the hardest part

Yeah, debating is the hardest.... part

[2x]
Oh woah oh
It's the hardest part

Why is debating the hardest part? YOU try filling 90 minutes with lies! Cheney did, but Bush sure couldn't. It was hard work. It was hard work. It was hard work. (Three times? He must've been taking lessons from Bob Dole.)

Rename this administration..."Most Petty Guys who are Heart-Breakers"...well, OK...it's a little awkward...sad to say their Governing skills are at the same level and their Debating skills. 5's...
