You're So Lame


As you listen to Carly Simon's "You're So Vain," read the Satirical Political Report's version, dedicated to George Bush:

You walked in, to the White House
Like you were walking into a frat
Your stands strategically tipped to please the Right
Your bearing was “spoiled brat”
You had no eyes on the Neo-Cons
As you joined them in their lies
And your own Dad dreamed that you’d been aborted
You’d been aborted, and

You’re so lame
You probably think Iraq was the right move
You’re so lame
I’ll bet you think Iraq was the right move
Don’t you? Don’t you?

You fooled them several years ago
When many were still naive
You said you’re a compassionate conservative
And that you would not deceive
But you gave away the surpluses
And our cred-i-bil-ity
I had some dreams that the ballots were counted
Ballots were counted, and

You’re so lame
You probably think Iraq was the right move
You’re so lame
I’ll bet you think Iraq was the right move
Don’t you? Don’t you?
For rest of the song, see The Satirical Political Report.

(Carly Simon Video -- Live - 1972)
