Will Bush "Get Away With It" Again

[texastoast]

I saw Todd Snider this past weekend in Houston. He has a new CD out.

Here are some lyrics that I thought you would all enjoy this Tuesday evening.

The CD is quite good if you like those under-the-radar singer-songwriter types. Check it out.

Lyrics for Song: You Got Away With It
Lyrics for Album: The Devil You Know
(A Tale Of Two Fraternity Brothers)

The tale of two brothers...a memoir
Remember that kid we beat up back in college
Me, you, and Thompson out in front of the frat
And that hippie went home crying to his parents
I can't believe you got us out of that
How sweet was that
God we were drunk
Drove around all night after it with that keg in the trunk
And when the cop pulled us over
You talked us out of that, too

You got away with it
You got away
You get away with
The things that you say

I had to quit partying about a year and a half after you did
I don't regret it though, I think it was fun
Besides, it was the 70's
We were a couple of rich kids
And aside from that one hippie
We never really hurt anyone
Well, there's that other thing that I won't even say
As God as my witness I'll take that to my grave
Cause that was an accident
And you did what you had to do

You got away with it
You got away
You get away with
The things that you say
I worry forever
Never for you
You'll get away with it
You always do

You never did tell me what happened with you and your brother down there in Florida
I heard they gave you a hell of a time
Everybody around here was afraid you might lose
I told them not to worry cause I knew you'd be fine
Had me out here to Camp David a few times over the years
I think the first time we were teenagers sneakin' beers
Look at you now you old son of a bitch
You got the run of this place
Unbelievable

You got away with it
You got away
You got away with
The things that you say
I worry forever
Never for you
You'll get away with it
You always do
You'll get away with
This new thing too

1. Of course he will. You thought Reagan had Teflon? He had nothing

compared to bushyboy.

2. Hindsight is 20/20. Reagan's "teflon" was the prototype testing for the

New Totalitarianism.

Reagan's "teflon", his genial cluelessness is clearly the frightening wall of denial, lies, propaganda, and false reality that is now machined in a giant factory, to use an analogy,

To carry it further, Reagan was the first or second model, cranked out in a Mom-and-Pop-Psyop Op (heh heh).

He was also perfect because his Alzheimers made him malleable, and I have no doubt that 1984-1992 the country was ruled by Bush I, who really was our first Emperor, technically speaking.

3. Yes, indeed. Glad to know I'm not the only one who saw that.

4. What is so attractive about "genial cluelessness" in a president?

Why do some people feel more comfortable relating to a clueless person? I heard RW complaits that Kerry was too much of an "intellectual" and that the "cowboy" persona was more personable.

What makes one care about anything than qualifications, experience, and ability? You know, it's a major kind of job.

6. That's a wholly different issue

And one which speaks to the totality of human history, for it has always ever been thus (with brief exceptions).

But what I am referring to here is to that overall human feeling is what crack is to cocaine.

The bushveiks have machined it, engineered it, refined it to make it the most powerful drug there is. Come to think of it, isn't that what the Busheviks did with crack, too?

5. His violinist is a friend of mine...

...A really sweet and genuine woman who is playing at my wedding in a couple of months.

7. Well, that's pretty cool

Todd was solo at the little club and it was just freaking great.

8. Todd's great

Saw him a few weeks ago with John Prine. Wonderful show!!
