How do you like it now?

Someone who's just totally disgusted with Toby Keith wrote this.

"How Do You Like It Now?" (sung to the tune of "How Do You Like Me Now?" by Toby Keith)

How do you like it now?
Now that you were wrong?
Now that over 500 American soldiers have been killed
to the tune of your song?

You keep going on
about nine-one-one
let me give you some other dates, son
How about 8/6/01
when Bush was warned about planes and plans
but he shoved it aside
He said he didn´t want to be bothered again
he dropped the ball and 3000 died

Or how about 9/17/03, when Bush said he was wrong
he didn´t know of any link between al qaeda and Sadam
Hell, even Bush sr. refused to go into Iraq
said he wouldn´t put our soldiers in another Vietnam
which is what this war is
So how do you like it now?

You keep talking ´bout the enemy but you don´t know who it is
hell it doesn´t even matter to you, it´s all just showbiz
We´d never attack the real enemy
They´d have our ass in a sling,
what with Saudi trillions in our banks and stock market, and
the OPEC-dollar thing

It´s easy to be angry
when you´re sleeping in your own bed
but your words are no comfort
to the ones that mourn their dead
And "bring them on" won´t bring them home
But it sure was salt in the wound
So how do you like it now?

Don´t call yourself a patriot, that´s not how it sounds to me,
Bet you don´t know a thing about Halliburton, Cheney, or the PNAC
Or Valerie Plame/Joseph Wilson or depleted uranium
or the side effects of anthrax vaccines
Or the veep´s Cayman island enemy trading corp.,
now it´s Syria, Libya and Iran.
How do you justify it now?

Now that you´ve goosestepped your support,
jester of the chickenhawk court
become a robber baron´s whore
played jingo tunes for the autocrats and traitors
beat war drums from the safety of a stage on
an American shore
How does that look now?

Butler said it best, you aided and abetted the capital
gangsters, gave them a great theme song
never stopping for a minute to think about right and wrong,
Or how much proof we need
and what a soldiers life is worth
you just made a buck instead
to the tune of thousands wounded, and hundreds dead
for nothing at the least, and less safety at the most
How can you live with it now?

How do you like it now, now that you´re a star
You hawked military action, but your gun is a guitar
That biblical needle´s eye is getting smaller and smaller for you,
and I bet you don´t have a clue
where the bible´s Garden of Eden is said to be,
you just call instead (evertime you sing that song) for more bombs
so you can sell more records and make more money
Are you proud to be
the first war-profiteer in your family?
That´s how it looks now

I´m sure none of this matters to you
It´s what Natalie was trying to say
some folks crucified her for caring enough
to question before we put our soldiers in harms way
Justify to me these soldiers deaths, tell me
how does it look now?

Now, now that you are rich,
now that you´ve made a career
as a war-profiteer´s bitch?
Is this the way you wanted to go down?
Spitting in the faces of the dead?
Silencing those who care,
for the rich man´s gain
Oh, I forgot, now you are one of them
So I guess you like that now?

If you can´t beat them, join them, they say,
I guess that´s what you´ve done,
30,000 soldiers you pretend to care so much about
don´t have flak jackets
Have you bought them even one?
I guess you´re keeping all the dough now
you deserved it, it´s pretty clear, hell I hear you even
got named 2003 neo-nazi of the year, or something like that
I don´t know

I didn´t go
I´m pretty bummed to see you´ve brought country music to a
brand new low, even though Willie and Merle stood up and
questioned, it´s obvious you don´t care if ´that´s the news´
or bother to ask ´whatever happened to peace on earth´ there´s
no money in that
you´d rather macho things up from the safety of the states
making megabucks and talking Jesus
while our troops get blown to smithereens
yet it´s your smirking mug, and not their funerals
that we see on the t.v. screens
Hell, our president you love so much
won´t even go, hasn´t once been to Dover, or to even one wake
won´t show his sorry face
How can you still support him now?

Maybe next time you won´t talk so fast
and sing the praises of bombs,
I hope you´ll educate yourself but I suspect
you´re not man enough to stand against the mob
instead you´re at the head,
saying kill them all, kill somebody, anybody,
don´t stop until they´re all dead
you, like so many, put your angry american ego in front of our soldiers lives
so tell me, how many of our soldiers have to die
before you´ll be satisfied
Can you ever be satisfied?
How can you like it now?

Or will it always be
kill now and ask questions later and I´ll play the tune
just like the 9/11 hi-jackers, no different
no better, same philosophy
kill the people that the gov´t tells you
are your enemy
The only difference is now there are many more dead
How can you live with yourself now?
