A North Carolina artist named Chuck Brodsky that the USA should be proud of. He will be recieving rightwing derision, so he deserves our support.

You can listen to most of it here, track 11:

If you can't play it, you should definitely read the words. He skewers Bush bad.

Liar! Liar! Pants On Fire!
from "Tulips For Lunch" 2006

Liar liar, pants on fire
See you squirm, see you perspire
Not a word you say is true
There's never been one out of you

Smoke & mirrors, bait and switch
You and your friends are getting rich
Picking pockets, pulling strings
And other more dispicable things

Liar Liar, pants on fire
Preaching only to the choir
Photo op in front of the steeple
How did you manage to fool these people?

Talk the lingo, dress the part
Even put your hand on your heart
Bomber jacket, emperor's clothes
You can't even reach the end of your nose

Liar liar, pants on fire
Chain of command doesn't get any higher
Orders come down from the top
Punish the guy who pushes the mop

Throw away the key and forget about bail
The likes of you ought to rot in jail
Guilty! Guilty of the highest crimes
And the lowest ones at the very same time

Liar liar, pants on fire
Teleprompter, hidden wire
Who's this G-d that speaks to you
Who would authorize the things you do?

Bend the rules, twist the facts
Make excuses, cover your tracks
Why won't you let anybody see
The flag-draped coffins on tv?

Liar liar, been found out
Whistleblowers talked about
How you classify & cook the books
For the benefit of a bunch of crooks

You can also hear some of it here, a different section:

4. Thx, I agree. And it's folk music IMO.
He plays folk festivals, although that doesn't preclude country artists. He has a country sound, but it's far beyond commercial country in terms of quality and depth.

3. Chuck Brodsky is great! He's been around awhile
and I always liked his music but this is the first time I realized that he was that opposed to *. If you like this, you might also listen to James McMurtry's "We Can't Make It Here". John Prine, Nanci Griffith and Marcia Ball are other artists who have opposed the policies of this administration. It ain't the 60's yet but there's a lot of good music out there.

5. It's starting to feel like the 60's again. Without the drugs.
Just the outrage.
