YOU WON'T PLAY THIS


Oh, yes, I know the difference between Iran and Iraq
I'm not some lame- brained good-ole-boy country songwriter hack
Heard you promise to protect and defend this country from all harm
You can't say you wasn't warned there was reason for alarm
But you went back to Texas, vacationed for a month
Now I agree with the Dixie Chicks your a very oily bunch

chorus

And you won't play this on your radio
I'm not sayin' what you want me to say
I'm not some jockey on a talk show
whose opinion comes pre-paid
Excuse me I'm for equality
think workers should be getting more
A living wage, a pension in old age
I'm not happy about the War

Thank you Mr President for that $300 check
And when it's time for me to retire this country's gonna be a wreck
You borrowed from the workin' man to give the rich the gain
Our so-called Social Security if going down your deficit drain
Forests coming under attack, pollution grows each day
just make a large contribution,call Dick Cheney today

chorus
cool guitar stuff
chorus again


References- The Alan Jackson song where he said he didn't know the difference between Iran and Iraq

The Bush admin. was warned and given intel on a possible terrorist attack. Bush went on vacation for a MONTH, -Condolezza Rice did NOTHING

There was a budget surplus when Bush took office - instead of paying down the deficit, he gave it away as a tax cut that largely favored the rich. (Republicans favored this, but still complain about the deficit when there' a Democrat President)

Bush was going to allow timbering of the old growth Redwoods

Bush's clean air act was written by lobbyists for the utility companies. (Just as the Repub's new proposed law on industrial waste is secretly written by the Chemical Mfgr.'s lobby)

Postscript- When Bush left office - the country was a
'total wreck" following his prescription that we should support the war effort by "going shopping". The war was never paid for. He left the financial collapse and the bill for the war to the next President to clean up. The Dixie Chicks took time off to raise families and are ready for a come back.
