Oh Man......Bush Won

I've not been here for ages but just came on to offer my condolences to everyone who voted for John Kerry is the US elections. I was convinced that kerry would have won unfortunatly life does not always have a happy ending.

I may incur some wrath for this but i found this on the web, who ever wrote this is a genius with lyrics. Its a re-write of the REM song "its the end of the world as we know it". I work with an american who left the states when bush took office and will not return while he is in power. He thinks this is the most accurate portrayal of bush yet.......but the members will no doubt decide. Anyway, here it is (im not having a go at bush supporters i just think this is quite funny - listen to the proper song - the words fit really well).



"That�s great it starts with old George Bush, sleaze and lies � a criminal, America should be afraid.

In a pre atomic hurricane, listen for the world burn, bush serves his cronies, then he serves his own needs,
feeding off a spin doc, brains - no, balls - No. People start to chatter with fear right, damm right.
A con-man in the white house represents the USA, his whole government for hire if the price is right
The right of right is coming in a flurry, bashing bibles, breathing down you�re neck
One by one our freedoms crippled, mangled, tied up, chopped
Look at Bush low playing ! Fine then, uh oh, oh no Bush�s bull# overflows, but it wont do,
Save himself, serve himself. Bush serves his own needs, feeding as you heart bleeds
That dummy with his spinning and his bulls*it every night, right
This idiotic, dumb, moronic, cheat fights, talk s*ite, Bush get on you�re bike!

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and its not fine.

Finally its election hour, remember Bush�s rigging power
Slash and fix returns, the democratic vote burned
Locking in election rigging, brother helping, cousin helping,
bush�s crimes they escalate, democracy incinerates.
Draw some sheets up, block a voter, rig-con, rig-con,
watch the black vote - been crushed Uh-oh this means
(sarcastic) no fear, Bush is here, get a free vote with you�re beer (sarcastic)
How does he get away with such a tournament of lies.
Offer him solutions, sensible alternatives, he will decline

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and its not fine.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and its not fine.

The other night I thought of knives, stabbing george in both his sides
People cheering in a line, George must, must die
Rupert Murdock, Dick Cheney and Daddy�s Mates.
Iraq war, north Korea, nuke bombs, boom!
He�s idiotic, un-patriotic, fu**ed up crack head, right? Right.
It's the end of the world as we know it. (It's time I had some chloroform)"

ON the 10 point scale of "cleverness" I'd give it a 4, maybe a five.
Not sure how this is NOT "having a go" at Bush supporters though.

Welcome back anyway!
You'll fit right in

When i say im not having a go at bush supporters, i mean i did not write this, i'll hapily have a go at Bush, but will not have a go at anyone for their views even if they differ from mine. I may question, disagree, have heated debates but it all in the name of democracy as i belive discussion to be healthy. So comment away........i just though it was clever as i could not do it......and its relevant to current events if even only a bit.

Its good to be back on ATS
