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:

1. It amazes me how a courageous song from a US treasure can be ignored.

Chuck can't afford body guards, but he's still putting himself out there at great risk with a song that says everything that needs to be said and then some.

Not to mention it's catchy as fuck.

11. Check out this song very apt IMO it was written after 2001 election theft

and a verse added later to reflect on the invasion of Iraq.

If you tell a lie again and again
It does not become the truth in the end
If your voice is loud and your lies are well heard
Still it does not mean transformation has occurred

Water isn't wine
Brass isn't gold
One day you'll account for all the lies that you told

If you take the forest, if you steal it tree by tree
If you blacken the river if you desecrate the sea
You can wave your arms, you can shout out from on high
But the truth is still the truth and a lie is still a lie

Water isn't wine
Brass isn't gold
One day you'll account for all the priceless things you sold

You can speak of God while you lead your Holy War
As if your hands weren’t stained by the oil you adore
More innocents will die and more soldiers will fall
You name your church for God but it was greed that built those walls

Water isn’t wine
Brass isn’t gold
One day you’ll account for all the lives that you stole

Two faced yes fool
Pin striped suit ghoul

You can make a promise and some people might believe
That you are not beholden to the power, to the greed
But if they should fall ill, or their schools should fall down
Should they fall on hard times well I doubt you'll be around

Water isn't wine, brass isn't gold
And it's wrong that we should pay for that crown that you stole
Water isn't wine, brass isn't gold
One day you'll account for all the lies that you told

12. kick one more time

[name not needed]

13. It'd be more convincing if it didn't suck.

[ghostsofgiants]

14. Can't believe I paused the new Moneen album for that.

[name not needed]

15. I'm glad I stopped listening before it showed up in my Lastfm.

[ghostsofgiants]

16. Haha, I didn't use Winamp.

I'm smart like that.

[name not needed]

17. I didn't feel like going through the trouble

of downloading this travesty on Limewire. Although I'm sure nobody bothered to put it in their shared folder, and for good reason.

[Harper_is_Bush]

18. Did someone leave the window open?

Something slimy crawled in.

[name not needed]

20. It sucks that not everybody likes the same things you do, doesn't it?

[Harper_is_Bush]

21. Not really.

It sucks that some people gotta be ignorant about it though!

[name not needed]

22. And how exactly am I being ignorant?

[Harper_is_Bush]

25. kick

anyone?

[HuskerDU]

29. How can Debbie Downer be on SNL one minute and then on

DU the next?

[Harper_is_Bush]

32. For the record...I AM NOT OFFENDED!

Some nameless poster is skulking around the forum accusing me of being offended by this.

Not at all.

Didn't even report it! :)

[0007]

19. Cool!

Thanks a lot.

[BigBearJohn]

23. I enjoyed that. THANKS! K/R

[Harper_is_Bush]

24. U R Welcome!

[Neil Lisst]

26. I heard it on Radio Free Austin

[Harper_is_Bush]

27. I'm surprised he hasn't been targetted by the rightwing yet.

I guess you gotta be famous to attract their attention. It's a pretty biting song, and I expect they'll catch wind of it soon enough.

[Neil Lisst]

28. it is hardcore! I think I need to get it.

[Jazz2006]

30. Great lyrics.

Mediocre vocals, mediocre instrumentation, crap vocals, but still..... well done for its simplicity!

[Harper_is_Bush]

31. It's a vocal styling

so it's a matter of taste in that department. Plus, you're listening to an internet sample remember.
