The Lyrics

What George Bush's Inauguration speech might have been like if written by Aretha Franklin rather than the usual run-of-the-mill speechwriters...
I'm gonna think (think)
Think about the world I wanna see
Yeah - think (think - think)
We'll put an end to tyranny

Let's invade, let's invade
Let's invade anyone
We'll invade anybody who
Ain't doing things how we want 'em done (Let's go!)

I ain't no warmonger
And though the world ain't sayin' "Please"
It don't take too much I.Q.
To bring bad guys to their knees

I'm gonna think (think)
Think about the world I wanna see
Yeah - think (think - think)
We gonna set the whole world free

Oh freedom (freedom)
Freedom (freedom)
Oh freedom
Yeah freedom (yeah)

You got to have freedom (freedom)
Oh freedom (freedom)
We'll give 'em all freedom
Oh freedom

I! think about it
You! think about it

There ain't no one we can't touch
No one can stand in our way (Our way!)
The whole world's gonna love us
'Cause we're the great US of A (Eh?)

You better think (think)
Think about what you're gonna say to me (gonna say to me)
Oh - oh - oh think (think)
When I tell you to let your country be

People walkin' scared everyday
Hidin', livin' in fear
Media controlled, rigged elections
And, hell, that's only here...

Oh think (think)
Think about what kinda leader you will be
Woo - hoo think (think)
'Cause the USA'll set your country free

I know we (yes we)
On the right track (don't cha know)
We done it once
And weren't it such success in Iraq?

Oh yeah, think about it people
(What world d'ya wanna see)
Let's go baby
Get 'em all right now
Yeah right now (think about... invasion)
Whoa right now (tell about... invasion)
Yeah right now (tell about... invasion)
No need to change my mind (think about it)
Today, today, today - Woo! (tell about it... f-reeedom)
Think about it people (tell about f-reedom)
Think we'd better stop and think about it
THINK!

Not a lot in the OS lyrically to work with, Ohil, but you've done a fine job. Fave bit: "People walkin' scared everyday/ Hidin', livin' in fear/ Media controlled, rigged elections/ And, hell, that's only here..." beautiful. 555

I wrote this after being disappointed with JibJab's "Second term"/"Comin' round the mountain" parody - must admit, I'd love to see a Bush animation a la JibJab to this :-) But the main inspiration had to be the "freedom" speech... if you see what I mean. Anyway, thanks everyone :-)

On behalf of the blue states, we apologize to the world for the words of our current dictator, er, president. Nice job, Phil.

Would I pay good money to see the Midland Moron sing this? Depends on where said money would go. And Robert, we are not the ones who should apologize. Planet Earth, don't blame me, I voted for Clinton, Gore AND Kerry... and I'm damn proud of it!
