Why Blame Massachusetts?
To be sung by the ACLU to the tune
"Lizzie Borden"
('Cause you can't chop your poppa up in Massachusette,)

Verse One
Ever wonder where he's from and why he's so inept?
His parents kept him hidden till on the stage he leapt.
That there was no jury, leaving judges to decide,
Ignoring public fury, could mean justice was denied.

Chorus One
But could Bushie cut the mustard if he was from Massachusetts?
The odds are he'd still squander all our dough.
But the evidence he wasn't is a plus for Massachusetts,
So why blame Massachusetts for making sure we know?

Verse Two
Ever wonder why young Bush was smoking so much pot,
His Poppy told the draft board, "He'd really rather not,
Unlike that war-like Cheney, my-girl's-gay's not his excuse."
So Pop and pot helped Bushie put his Guard-time to good use.

Chorus Two
Would Bush have served in Nam if he'd been from Massachusetts
Or been told that Paul Revere's pro-British?
But the evidence he wasn't is a plus for Massachusetts,
So why blame Massachusetts for Bushie being skittish?

Verse Three
Ever wonder why Judge Clarence sided with the Gov?
Was it because Anita had exposed his secret love?
Or did Bushie's pop convince him that since his boy did crack,
He'd go for Afghan poppies and forget about Iraq?

Chorus Three
But would Bush have whacked Iraq if he'd been from Massachusetts?
Would being a gay married make a diff'rence?
Is speculation that he wasn't now a plus for Massachusetts
When blaming Massachusetts still is Clarence's defense?
