Symptom - Baba Brinkman

Bush is just a symptom of the ignorant citizens\nWho elected him, a simpleton in a crib full of infants\nAs if a woman afraid of intercourse married an impotent\nMan, and the cycle begins again…\nYour president’s a reflection of your national temperament\nSo it’s no wonder you’re sensitive, but I’m tryin' to make sense of this\n‘Cause if he really did cheat to win both elections\nEven with no deception he would’ve been a close second\nSo there’s really no consensus, just a polarized electorate\nWith both sides protected by their own misconceptions\nSo many well-intentioned souls with loaded weapons\nArms control begins at home! It’s no question\nWhy the twenty-first century has been a disgrace\nIt’s ‘cause the United States keeps shooting their friends in the face\nThe money wasted on wars could be spent in better ways\nBut the president gets away with «whatever it takes»\nMaybe it’s just a phase in the democratic process\nA population with an apathetic consciousness\nIs gonna end up with some bastards in office\nAt least until the problem is solved by the same people who caused it\nBush is just a symptom of the ignorant citizens\nWho elected him, a simpleton in a crib full of infants\nAs if a woman afraid of intercourse married an impotent\nMan, and the cycle begins again…\nIt’s no wonder your president’s as dense as a fence post\nIt’s a direct result of those who neglected to vote\nOh, you don’t think so? Come on, look at the trends\nJohn Kerry had to pretend that he couldn’t speak French\nAnd if you’re always going to resent intelligent women and men\nThen you’re never gonna get another Jefferson\nAnd the consequence of indifference goes beyond borders\n‘Cause now the burden of peace rests on a neo-con's shoulders\nAnd the war goes on, even without Saddam’s orders\nIt’s a melting pot of brown, yellow, black and blonde soldiers\nAnd the bombs over Baghdad have tags attached\nThat read: «Courtesy of American Non-Voters»\nAnd as Iraq smolders, there’s trouble at home\nAnd now the president sits on a crumbling throne\nAnd every piece that falls off is a stumbling stone\nUntil he’s left in the rubble alone\nBush is just a symptom of the ignorant citizens\nWho elected him, a simpleton in a crib full of infants\nAs if a woman afraid of intercourse married an impotent\nMan, and the cycle begins again…\nThis is just a little message from your neighbours to the North\nYou know, the ones you impersonate when you visit foreign shores\n‘Cause they spit in your face whenever you step outside your borders\nUniversal outrage when your president signs orders\nYou’ve got this huge economy, beautiful music and comedy\nAnd some of the worst abuses of democracy on earth\nI hear your bombs and rockets burst, and all I’ve got is words\nBut I’ve also got supporters and American friends\nDetermined to make sure this age of arrogance ends\nSo they never have to apologize embarrassed again\nWhen they discuss themselves; relax, bloody hell\nMy great grandmother was a Southern Belle, plus I’ve got California cousins\nThat I love as well, but your government’s a tougher sell\nAs you can tell I’ve got a thing for rap, so thanks for that\nBut you can have your tanks back, and the next chance\nYou yanks have to change tracks, for God’s sake, act!\nBush is just a symptom of the ignorant citizens\nWho elected him, a simpleton in a crib full of infants\nAs if a woman afraid of intercourse married an impotent\nMan, and the cycle begins again…\nBush is just a symptom of the ignorant citizens\nWho elected him, a simpleton in a crib full of infants\nAs if a woman afraid of intercourse married an impotent\nMan, and the cycle begins again…\nDon’t let it
