Bush

Written some time later during his first term in office. He’s the Man – not in a good way. There are lots of them in the world, always in positions of power. Let’s hope the Black Man moving into his White House for a change does better (not hard to do better than this but a hell of a mess – guess black folks are still cleaning up after whitey, especially now).

MAN IS A COWBOY
Words and music by Adam Chew

Man’s a cowboy,
Tippin his white hat
Unless you wear black

Man’s a coward,
Keeping his belly fat
With his gun to your back

Man’s a cheater
Stackin the card deck
With shots of dead enemies

Man is murder
Sacrificing you
For the good of to few

With his
Electrical noose
Around your
Pretty black goose

Man’s an outlaw
A plutonium badge
Over his gun metal heart

Man’s a movie star
A glint in his eyes
And the gold in his smile

Man’s a head hunter
Finding us jobs
That don’t pay with no benefits

Man’s all hoop-law
The trash in his basket
Is filled with your head

He’ll do anything
To get ahead
He’ll kill Anyone
to get a head

Man the crusader
Oil in his can
Is spilled blood on their sand

Multi-man dictator
Hail to the thief
That stole my belief

That white collar pirate
Insider old boy
With the coke in his nose

Trillion dollar prophet
Only Jesus can save you
When your soul is for sale

He’ll do everything
To buy your soul
Sell you anything
To save your soul
