You obviously didn't read the article carefully enough.

Here's a song I wrote Tuesday, that I sent to Utah. It's to Woody Guthrie's tune for THE GREAT DUSTSTORM.

"W" MUST GO
On the 2nd of November, in the year 2004,
The people will get together and show George Bush the door,
It's not that we like Kerry, but we can't stand George B,
He may be the worst President that we will ever see.

He's not our country's savior, he's not our country's hope,
When he smiles and says he's doing right, we think that he's a dope.
Every time he's on TV I just can't watch that man,
For everything he's done to all the poor folk in this land.

He spends more time in Texas than he does in D.C.
He thinks the price of freedom is giving up liberty.
He says the war on terror, that battle can be won,
But he wasn't paying attention on 9/11/01.

He has sent our soldiers overseas to conquer in Iraq,
And he leaves us wondering when they'll be coming back.
When he smiles and says the battle's won it makes my blood just boil,
For we know that what he's doing is trading blood for oil.

And all his friends the bankers, getting rich at our expense,
By taking money from the poor, it just don't make no sense.
Just like all politicians, he knows what gets him votes,
Even though his promises are nothing but a joke.

It's time that we got together to finally make a stand,
So head down to the voting booth with your ballot in your hand,
So let's send him back to Texas or some other very hot place,
Maybe that will finally wipe the smile from off his face.
