Stand Down, McCain
The Billy Sherrill/Tammy Wynette song "Stand By Your Man"
as sung to John McCain
(Sometime it's hard to be a woman
   giving all your love to just one man.)

Verse
What makes folks think that you're a "Hero"?
Won't you tell us just who else you've saved?
Sure, you've had bad times
After lots of wild times –
Like George Bush you often misbehaved.

What did it take to be commissioned?
Did it help your name was John McCain?
You lost four aircraft –
So why not The Shaft?
Knowing who your Dad was, who'd complain?

How hard's it been to be a "Hero"
Since they found your name is John McCain?
Six years of jail time –
Confess a war crime –
After all those years of raising Cain.

Are you a Bushie who makes "Heroes"?
Even when their names aren't John McCain?
Six years in Gitmo –
Waterboarding "John Doe" –
"Heroes" like McCain seem less germane.

Chorus
Stand down, McCain,
For you're no more a "Hero"
Than prisoners in Gitmo.
Stand down, McCain.

Stand down, McCain.
So you love gals who lobby,
But claim it's just a hobby?
Stand down, McCain.

Stand down, McCain,
To show the world you love us,
Not merely sorry 'bout "Hussein".
Stand down, McCain.
