Subject: Lyr Add: THE LIAR SLEEPS TONIGHT (Whitekeys)
From: http://www.davidvolk.com/rants/aubugles.shtml

The original version (c. 2004) by Mr. Whitekeys & The Fabulous Spamtones of Spenard, Anchorage, Alaska (which seems to be congruous with the version on Youtube featuring Muppet-like characters):

Bomb Iraq. Bomb Iraq. The cowboy’s back. The cowboy’s back.
Shock and awe, shock and awe. Avenge my pa. Avenge my pa.

We’ll fight the axis of evil. Bring it on.
We’ll drill for oil till the fossil fuels are gone.
In the White House, the whitey White House, the liar sleeps tonight.
In the Mideast, the oily Mideast, I’m gonna pick a fight.

I’m wingin’ it. I’m wingin’ it. I’m such a twit. I’m such a twit.
I’m wingin’ it. I’m wingin’ it. I’m such a twit. I’m such a twit.

No weapons of mass destruction can be found.
Haliburton’s certain there’s oil in the ground.
On your TV, the cable TV, the liar speaks tonight.
Deficits rise, no tax for rich guys. I never was too bright.

The Dixie Chicks, the Dixie Chicks, they’re crafty pricks, they’re crafty pricks.
The Dixie Chicks, the Dixie Chicks, they’re crafty pricks, they’re crafty pricks.

Cheney hides somewhere and tells me what to do.
Ashcroft looks for spies has his gall bladder removed.
Lots of people out of work. (I feel no pain).
The Frenchies think that he’s a jerk (and so does Spain).
He wore a flight suit on a boat (They let me steer)
Just to get another vote (I’ll buy the beer).

Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug.
Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug.

Hush, my darling. The breadline’s forming, but we’re gonna fly to Mars.
Hush now, mama. Forget Osama, Kabul and Kandahar.

Hanging chad, hanging chad. Thank you, dad. Thank you, dad.
Hanging chad, hanging chad. Thank you, dad. Thank you, dad.

My brother made sure I won in Florida.
I went AWOL from the National Guard.
I got Colin Powell. I got Condoleezza.
Jesus supports me. Mel Gibson agrees-a.
When I was young I got a DUI.
But I got Uday and I got Qusay.
I got the axis of evil around the world.
The liberal media makes me hurl.
Eighty-seven billion was the bill.
Wait’ll we go after Kim Jong-il.

Bomb Iraq. Bomb Iraq. The cowboy’s back. The cowboy’s back.
Shock and awe, shock and awe. Avenge my pa. Avenge my pa.

In the White House, the whitey White House, the liar sleeps tonight.
In the White House, the whitey White House, the liar sleeps tonight.
In the White House, …
