He's a goat ropin failed oil man
He's the head of the neo-con clan
When the election comes rollin around
We'll be lucky he's not wearing a crown

Shred reports out by the EPA
Rewrites them in less than a day
Tells workers it's safe don't ya see
Now they wish to be able to breath

He swore he would personally strive
To get Bin Laden Dead or Alive!
Instead his true goal remained
To take out Saddam Hussein

Tells the people he's got WMDs
Knowin evidence would flap in the breeze
Tells more so we shiver and shake
Outs Plame to cook yellow cake

He landed our troops on their soil
And swears it's not all about oil
But Dick's energy policy map
Shows reserves Exxon will tap

Saddam was a horrible man
And none can say they're a fan
He killed thousands of that I am sure
But two million have died in Darfur

Those photos about Abu Ghraib
Gave a black eye to the home of the brave
With his lawyer's memo in hand
Soldiers were taking the stand

Our reps that work on the hill
Passed a new, no torture bill
He signed it as most of us saw
But added he was above the law

It is never his fault don't ya know
Towers fall and flood waters flow
They burn and he reads of a goat
Guitars while New Orleans afloat

In jest a reporter would quip
It'd be easier for a dictatorship
He laughed, but was quick to agree
As long as that dictator's me

Thank you, and I agree, since he thumbed his chest saying it.

Such true words you write.
Enjoyed this read very much so.
