LYRICS:

baby boy

dieing under hot desert sun,

watch your colours run.

did you believe the lie they told you,

that christ would lead the way

and in a matter of days

hand us victory?

did you buy the bull they sold you,

that the bullets and the bombs

and all the strong arms

would bring home security?

all eyes upon

dry drunk emperor

gold cross cross jock skull and bones

mocking smile,

he's been

standing naked for a while!

get him gone, get him gone, get him gone!!

and bring all the thieves to trial.

end their promise

end their dream

watch it turn to steam

rising to the nose of some cross legged god

gog of magog

end times sort of thing.

oh unmentionable disgrace

shield the childrens faces

as all the monied apes

display unimaginably poor taste

in a scramble for mastery.

atta' boy get em with your gun

till mr. mega ton

tells us when we've won

or

what we're gonna leave undone.

all eyes upon

dry drunk emperor

gold cross jock skull and bones

mocking smile,

he's been

naked for a while.

get him gone, get him gone, get him gone!!!

and bring all his thieves to trial.

what if all the fathers and the sons

went marching with their guns

drawn on washington.

that would seal the deal,

show if it was real,

this supposed freedom.

what if all the bleeding hearts

took it on themselves

to make a brand new start.

organs pumpin on their sleeves,

paint murals on the white house

feed the leaders L.S.D

grab your fife and drum,

grab yor gold baton

and let's meet on the lawn,

shut down this hypocrisy.

This is the real terrorist, the one that's behind the bloodshed, not the one killed today.

Bush looks pretty good now, compared to Obama, IMO.

when I first heard this song -- I definitely imagined Bush BUT, now you can definitely relate it with Obama, especially the ' lead the way & in a matter of days & hand us victory' however, when relating it to Obama the song conjures up images of Obama's struggle to do genuine good for the country, unlike when I think of Bush & the path of destruction that followed him

chrisistubing is absolutely correct. This has to be one of my favorite TVoTR songs and when I first heard it I pictured G.W. Bush's face all over it... The truth of the matter is that these lyrics could be applied to decades of U.S. Government policy with no end in sight.
