So I was watching television
And I saw this man talking about the state of the union
So naturally I’m assuming he’s the president
Unfortunately he didn’t a know thing about what he was doing
So I watch him fumbled through every lie that he spoke
And I watched him laugh and make unnecessary jokes
Awkard
And immediately I wished I could fast forward to the end of his term
And he used big words to make his speech more appealing
And I decoded his words hoping to reveal the hidden truth
And he called Africa a country
And he didn’t even know the foreign leaders
And while the nation was attacked he was busy doing readings
And ‘cause he can’t play well with others
Gas is more than we can afford
And yet somehow the country gave him another term
America
WAKE UP
And yes I support the Dixie Chicks
So Toby Keith should just sit down
‘Cause if everyone mindlessly followed the leader we’d all be underground
Remember Hitler
Now I’ve got your attention
And did I mention that Bush has never really won an election
So I guess my vote doesn’t count if in the end it’s Congressional selection
So I guess we shouldn’t expect him to work for us
We didn’t hire him
So I guess we shouldn’t be upset that we can’t fire him
So when they say we are a democracy
The government is just lying
And soldiers keep on dying
Trying to fight for freedom
For...
Of....
Yeah, they leave it blank to fill in later
And when the waters rose we desperately waited
And all we got were FEMA trailers
And celebrity fundraisers
But aren’t we taxpayers
So let’s go green and recycle the paper back to the citizens
And if we’d just take a moment and listen we’d realize something’s missing
And that we have the power to make change
Instead of sitting back and complaining
And that President doesn’t equal Master
And we don’t have to roll over and do tricks just because he asks us
And we don’t need masks to be bold
And we don’t have to wait until we’re told to react
We are a nation for the people and by the people
So when will we stop acting like we are the weaker
And begin to speak our minds
And we don’t have to riot
Or commit acts of violence
Or believe all the statistics with gospel reliance
And we are one nation under a man who thinks he’s God
Who spends most of his time on the family farm
Like he doesn’t have a job to do in Washington D.C.
But let me speak easy just in case he listening in on this conversation
Because that’s just one of things he wasting our money on
And the deficit just keeps running on
And our bills just keep piling on
And the soldier death keeps adding on
And we just keep padding on the excuses and calling it loyalty
Patriotism
And hail to the chief
Who is sending us to hell as we speak
And we will have to reap what he’s sown
Even after his reign is gone
And we’ll have to clean up his mess on our own
And TAPS plays on for America
21-gun salute
For the state of the union
