Hope Springs Internal
(Sung to the tune "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down
And Write Myself A Letter'")

I'm gonna turn around
    and hope things get lots better,
Then make believe I was the cause.
If the oil flows in Iraq,
They'll be gettin' off my back,
And could be applaudin'
    my so-called maraudin'.

I'm gonna smirk and work
    to be a good vote getter,
And hope that no one sees the flaws:
The million jobs I've lost,
The billions war has cost,
And that each and ev'ryone's
    been made a debtor.
