You There
To be sung with John Raitt to the tune
"Hey There"
(…you with the stars in your eyes)

You there,
You with your ass in a sling,
War had to be a tool for you
To do your own damn thing.

You there,
You who have pissed off the crowd,
Who doesn't know it's dumb of you
To pretend the solution has come to you,

That it is better
To claim their freedom is there
Even with puppets on a string?
When they're replaced, who'll care?

You ignored the advice
Handed you by your daddy,
But the price you have paid is too dear
For any but Cheney to cheer
That you're planning to persevere
And let him stay on as your caddy.
