Withered old hippy Neil Young has penned hisself a 21st century protest song, “Let’s Impeach The President“. Lyrics as follows:

Let’s impeach the president for lying
And leading our country into war
Abusing all the power that we gave him
And shipping all our money out the door
He’s the man who hired all the criminals
The White House shadows who hide behind closed doors
And bend the facts to fit with their new stories
Of why we have to send our men to war
Let’s impeach the president for spying
On citizens inside their own homes
Breaking every law in the country
By tapping our computers and telephones
What if Al Qaeda blew up the levees
Would New Orleans have been safer that way
Sheltered by our government’s protection
Or was someone just not home that day?
Let’s impeach the president
For hijacking our religion and using it to get elected
Dividing our country into colors
And still leaving black people neglected
Thank god he’s cracking down on steroids
Since he sold his old baseball team
There’s lot of people looking at big trouble
But of course the president is clean
Thank God

Inspired by his complete inabilty to master the art of meter & rhyme after 40 years of penning pompous squeals of indignation, I’ve decided to write my own counter-protest song. I just hope it’s clumsy and unsingable enough to become a hit with the tie-dyed intellectuals.

LET’S MAKE FUN OF THE IDIOTS
Let’s make fun of the idiots who’re lying
Trying to make our country lose the war
Abusing all the freedom of speech they have
And shipping the truth right out the door
They’re the men who cheer on the terrorists
The murderers plotting behind closed doors
Leaving out facts to fit their agendas
Forgetting who struck first to start the war.
Let’s make fun of the idiots who say it’s spying
To listen to terrorists because they’re calling from home
To other terrorists outside the country
I guess it’s their right to plan killings over the phone.
They think that George Bush blew up the levees
Poor construction wouldn’t make them fail that way
Don’t point fingers at Ray Nagin’s government
Because he couldn’t find any bus drivers that day
Let’s make fun of the idiots
For smearing Bush just to try to get elected
Campaigning on the politics of color
Yet still leaving black people neglected
It’s sad to see these people stuck on stupid
In this war they’re rooting for the enemy’s team
The New York Times prints state secrets on the front page.
But they say their consciences are still clean
It’s sad.

Hopefully Neil Young will retire soon so that I never have to dirty myself this way again.
