Give Us Some Old Time Contrition
To be sung to the hymn
"Give Me That Old Time Religion"

Give us some old time contrition.
You never asked for permission
To wiretap on the suspicion
That not all agree with Thee.

If it isn't too much trouble,
The next time you leave your bubble
You might try, "I'm sorry" double,
Without grinning stupidly.

Give us that old time contrition
For Guantanamo rendition,
For avoiding supervision
Of who'll be a wiretapee.

We'd like to think you'd want to
And not fear that Cheney'd taunt you,
Though not to's sure to haunt you,
And your Senate G.O.P.

But stressing your religion
In Iraq, though just a smidgen,
Made you a sitting pidgeon,
And their fav'rite enemy.

So give with that old line contrition,
Like it wasn't your ambition
To promote Thy Given Mission
And Thy demagoguery.
