Wish You Were Gore

To hear "Wish You Were Gore" performed by The Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy, click here.

(to the tune of the Pink Floyd song "Wish You Were Here")
Oh, why can't everyone tell
A statesman from a thug
Who's got our telephones bugged
A frat boy who took drugs
Who Lays down with thieves
The one who deceived
About the Dubya MDs

How did you get us to trade
Our heroes for shrubs
Democrats for Repubs
A stain we never could scrub
A living, breathing oil spill
How did we reject
Surplus safety net
For nine trillion in debt

How I wish
How I wish you were Gore
It's been two lost terms swimming in a cesspool
Of malfeasance and shame
Trashing all of the Bill of Rights
And starting losing fights
With pre-emptive war
Wish you were Gore
Be sure to show some love to Pink Floyd and their lawyers — by buying the original recording. By the way, which one's Pink?

Labels: Al Gore, songs and doggerel

I just got around to hearing this (got lost in the shuffle of emails from a list and my own comments) but a belated thank you for this. Had I remembered to play it, I certainly would've included it in my blogwhoring post. Next one, I swear.

Nice.

I think Waters has the best claim on being Pink. Gilmour is the better musician, but I don't think Gilmour has as much to say. Roger may be saying the same heavy-handed, dyspeptic thing for quite some time, but at least he's trying to accomplish something (and he can turn a phrase like few rock lyricists can). I'd love to have a new Waters rock album. Surely enough has happened in the world to piss him off enough to write some new songs.

That was so very brilliant. I will be back. Thanks!

(And I love lime yogurt. Just fyi.)

Thank you, Luisa!

I must admit I've never had lime yogurt and knew nothing of such a flavor, so all is forgiven.

BTW, my posting these days is over here, and specifically over here
