Lennon's "How Do You Sleep?" was WAY better...but.....
So ol' Turd Blossom took you by surprise
You better see right through that mother's lies
Those Fox creeps was wrong when they said you was ahead
With 5 to 4 you got yourself selected
Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night?

Rumsfeld to Condi tell you you was king
Jump when Dick Cheney tell you anything
Nine Eleven allies you frittered away
State of the Union haunts you to this day
Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night?

Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night?

That Texas charm may last a year or two
But pretty soon they saw what you could do
"Idiot Son Impeached" is music to my ears
Guess you learned nothing in all those years
Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night?


(hope the altered lyrics don't offend y'all!! :hide: )

1. No Problem.
I forgive you...
because I believe that John would approve.

2. Nice adaption...
...except for the "Texas charm." Bush has none to expend.

3. Lennon's "Gimme Some Truth" doesn't even need revision ....
In fact, Little George is described with incredible accuracy with such phrases as "short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky."

-----------------------------------------

I’m sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocritics
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

I’ve had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky
Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of hope
Money for dope
Money for rope

I’m sick to death of seeing things
From tight-lipped, condescending, mama’s little chauvinists
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth now

I’ve had enough of watching scenes
Of schizophrenic, ego-centric, paranoiac, prima-donnas
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth

Ah, I’m sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocrites
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth now

I’ve had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth now

All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth now
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

6. What's old is new again.
....Lennon's lyrics as relevant today as they were then.

Excellent!
