Personally i don't like this song.But the lyrics are refering to somebody we all know.Acording to Wikipedia:"Sweet Neo Con" is a controversial song from the 2005 Rolling Stones album A Bigger Bang.
The song became the focus of media scrutiny due to featured lyrics such as:
" You call yourself a Christian; I think that you're a hypocrite; You say you are a patriot; I think that you're a crock of shit "
Singer Mick Jagger initially denied the song's lyrics were aimed directly at U.S. President George W. Bush. In a September, 2005 interview with Rolling Stone magazine when he was asked "Who are you singing to?", Jagger replied, "I don't want to overexplain it. But it is very direct. During the presidential election, I was asked by the New York Daily News which side I was on. I said it's not polite to take sides in foreigners' elections. But we're not in an election now." Keith Richards was more cautious - "I didn't want this to be a diversionary storm, I thought potentially it would detract attention from the rest of the album and be seen as cheap publicity. We don't need that. But I told Mick, 'If you really feel like you want to say that, I'll back you all the way.'"
The song itself was primarily a Jagger composition, with Jagger performing vocals, harmonica, bass, and guitar with Richards, and with Charlie Watts on drums.
