Lyrics

[Verse 1] Come and listen to the story 'bout a boy named Bush His IQ was zero, his head was up his tush He drank like a fish, he drove a car about It didn't really matter 'cause his daddy bailed him out DUI, that is. Criminal record. Cover-up [Verse 2] The first thing you know little Georgie goes to Yale Can't spell his name but they never let him fail Spends all his time hanging out with student folk And that's where he learns how to snort a line of coke Blow, that is. White gold. Nose candy [Verse 3] The next thing you know there is a war in Vietnam The kin folk say, "George, you stay at home with Mom Let the common people get maimed and get scarred We'll buy you up a spot on the Texas National Guard" Cush, that is. Country clubs. Nose candy [Verse 4] Twenty years later, George gets a little bored Trades in the booze, says Jesus is my Lord He said, "The White House is the place I wanna be" So he called his daddy's friends, they called the GOP Gun owners, that is. Falwell. Jesse Helms [Guitar Solo] [Verse 5] Come November 7, the election ran late The kin folk said "Jeb, give the boy your state Don't let the colored folks get anywhere near polls" So they put up barricades so they couldn't punch their holes Chads, that is. Duval County. Miami-Dade [Verse 6] Before the votes were counted all the five Supremes stepped in Told all the voters, "Hey, we want our George to win" "Stop counting votes" was their solemn invocation And that's how little Georgie got his coronation Rigged, that is. Illegitimate. No moral authority Y'all come back now, ya hear?
