Sunny Again

Written in June 2003, I was tying together Bush's difficulty making informed, intellegent decisions about world affairs, and peripheral items like the Dixie Chicks' speaking out against him and getting accused of being anti-American or somehow unpatriotic for exercising their freedom of speech! I couldn't believe this was happening. "Either you're with us or you're against us" was being yelled at US citizens as if we had no right to question his leadership. Well, I'm not with you, Mr. President. The beauty of this country isn't that our President rules unchecked by its citizenry, but that we can speak our mind and suggest alternate opinions and even ask for accountability for your actions. More than that - I can't wait till you're gone!

there's a dark cloud over all you do

 when its dry its hard enough to chew

 but when it rains it poisons us, too - so,

i can't wait till

 can't wait till when

 when you leave and

 its sunny again

I'd be embarrassed, too, if I called yours my home

 at least now I don't feel so all alone

 I'm whistling Dixie with the chicks to make you moan

i just can't wait

 can't wait till when

 when you're gone and

 its sunny again

now don't get me wrong

 you're a man among men

 it's just that your approach to "whether"

 well, it ain't quite Zen

now i just can't wait

 can't wait till when

 when you've left and

 its sunny again - I'll shout

yee-ha! here come the sun!

 we'll need to undo all the dos that you have done

 cause you've made it so bad to be top gun

 well, ignorance can hide, but it can't run

 if the journey to enlightenment is half the fun

 wouldn't it be much lighter if you had none

 of the lies you're packin that weigh half a ton

 and distort the truth about what you've become

 but who we joking? you're only half done

 and in two more years we'll be twice as glum

 by then all the dressing be eaten up by your chums

 and they be flashin you that upwards thumb

 that says you're their hero, and not a bum

 now be careful - don't drop a crumb
