[bodytext] => Mr. President August 26, 2004 If you have such good ideas How come you aren’t to blame When they crash and burn After you stood for them in fame? You don't want to be held responsible For the things you say and do What kind of a president Hasn't enough honor to say 'me' instead of 'you'? And you strike back about flip-flops But a president should know If he's done something wrong, to make it stop You’re hypocrisy on democracy Will get you no place, and Mr. President, declaring war without notice No consulting, no focus? Lie after lie about how we could die That more evidence has been found overseas To prove that we can no longer take advantage of our safety So instead of working it out, just send out the men How many of ours, Sir, have died since then? And the innocent victims, who we're trying to 'free'? How many more, Mr. president, until you will see? Problems can be solved without going into war No need to destroy lives, of those who have no part in this Politics and terror, but along with the innocents? We know you love the freedom of press, Of speech, the right to own weapons But you frown on the freedom of love Setting restrictions on marriage Matrimony is an emotion binding, not a lesson from God He who loves all, would He agree and nod To the blood being shed, and the discrimination going on? Mr. President, is there logic behind The deficit that you're creating Or have you simply lost your mind And the ability to have common sense debating? Here's an idea, why don't we ask to them not to investigate The 9/11 attacks, so they won't see my mistake It wasn't clear enough for you, that Clinton left saying bin Laden and Al Qaeda are dangerous, so make sure there's no delaying? Now, Mr. President, I could go on Flaunting your flaws Of the economy, Florida voters, Jobs and education But I haven’t got the time To talk about all the ways you’re ruining this nation So just know, my faith is in Kerry My advice to you, Learn to be a little less contrary.
