the first temptation is little
\nyer a good ol’ cowboy
\nall you hafta do to stay out of Vietnam
\nis become a fly boy
\nSon you’re so special head on down to Atlanta
\nand take the helm of a fighter jet
\nMock I is guaranteed to scar the shit out of a home boy
\n“You can either go to jail for missing guard duity or
\nbecome a Governor of the great state of Texas”<\/p>\n
Governor Bush, prince in waiting,
\nfollowed the directions of The Great Persuader
\nnow Texas is in the state our Molly Ivins decries.<\/p>\n
The stage is set, our once innocent cowboy
\nnow is given the temptation to be the king of the hill
\nhe can become “The most powerful ruler in the world.”
\nAll he has to do is let Cheney pull the strings
\nNow cowboys have a way of slicing thru the bull
\nCowboy George still could see
\nwe saw him look and feel the Twin Towers disaster
\nand he spoke to we the people sincerely
\nand promised to get his man “Dead or Alive”
\nBut was turned aside by the power brokers that brought him here
\nhe followed, he saw, he heard
\ntoday his popularity dropped to 34% in spite of the advice he receives
\ndown from high 60’s or 70’s<\/p>\n
has it happened yet – i think yes
\nin comes the Jackal and gives Cowboy George the choice
\n“In this pocket is the key to all the riches in the world
\nIn the other pocket is a gun.
\nIf you don’t choose the riches, you choose death.<\/p>\n
Now the cowboy loves his children, and maybe loves his wife,
\nbut he sure likes livin’ (even if not Mock I)
\nWho has there been to vote for since John Fitzgerald Kennedy?
\nnobody – now surely
\nGeorge Bush growing up in Midland and Huston
\nstudied history at Yale, graduating in 1968,
\nlearned of the assassination of JFK
\nand the controversy still alive in 2006<\/p>\n
Mr. President can follow orders
\nbut Cowboy George was country too
\nbefore country was born<\/p>\n
The Master Manipulators Grand plans
\ncrumble beneath their feet
\nthe nature of the beast exposed
\nand all the world is watching<\/p>\n
Beautiful America is what we have
\nif we can restore her wings they broke
\nyes storm clouds brew on the horizon
\none we recognize
\nparanoia is contagious only if it is true
\npast abuses of presidential powers we know
\nwe were fooled once, shame on them
\nIf we are fooled in 2006
\nor whenever it is “they” figure Bush a liability
\nwill we be fooled again?
\nShame on us if we are.<\/p>\n
Speak to us Cowboy John Wayne Bush fan,
\nwatch your popularity rise to the highest ever
\nfor a sitting president.<\/p>\n
If you try we will remember, always.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
