21st Century Idiocracy

I tend to lean to the left, even though I'm a righty,
Because the views from the right are too extreme,
Conservatives think they’re in with the Almighty,
But W in the office? It still makes my blood scream.
I mean who put that guy in the White House?
Oh yeah never mind, Florida liked to rock the vote,
I’m still a little pissed over those missing ballots,
And with brother as governor, politics are cutthroat.
Not even a year in as prez and he was put to the test,
When evil showed its ugly face on America’s door,
And oddly enough a lot of it didn’t make sense,
But then we all had a clear reason to go to war.
It felt like a ruse, an excuse to fuel our anger,
A lie to the American people and that was wrong,
“Fool me once, shame on – shame on you, fool me”...
Fool! Won’t Get Fooled Again is a Who song!
But I don’t want to go into all the Bushisms,
There’s too many to point out and tear apart,
Maybe it was him, maybe it was his speech writer,
Because from the podium he didn’t sound too smart.
He was the dumbest president this country ever had,
With George W. Bush it all felt like a disaster,
And just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse,
In today’s America, I kind of miss the bastard.
