Cindy's Got a Shirt - with apologies to Aerosmith
[political]
I wanted to write this just after the SOTU, but between work and losing connectivity for three days after the speech, I couldn't get a copy of the original lyrics. Now while I don't agree with everything Cindy Sheehan says or does, I'm saddened by the lack of outrage shown by the media, and the public, over the censorship of the shirts worn by both Cindy and the wife of Republican Representative Bill Young. And while the Capitol Police did come out and say "oops," I appreciate the irony in law enforcement not knowing the law, in the very spot where our laws are made. Thus, I give you the silly, sad and serious, all in one tune, hummed to Janie's Got a Gun:
Well Cindy got a shirt
Cindy got a shirt
Bush, he done hit the dirt
butt cheeks gave a little squirt
what did ole Georgie do
what did he put us through
they say when Cindy was arrested
they found him lying through his teeth
there were smiles and a clappin'
meanwhile Cindy's got a shirt
counting soldiers given their own wreaths
well Cindy got a shirt
Cindy got a shirt
with truth we merely flirt
hah
only thought and reason have been hurt
yeah
can't tell them he's untrue
an' what did our 'leader' do?
oh they gave me 'bad intell' he did whine
I really can't be held to blame
ah ah yeah ah ah
we mourn the spell the nation's under
the bombin' and the blunder
the news quotes only G.O.P. frame
wasted youth
very few seek the truth
yeah yeah yeah yeah-yeah
wasted youth
very few seek the truth
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah-ye-yeah
wasted youth
wasted youth
so many many many many wasted youth
whoo
Well Cindy got a shirt
Cindy's got a shirt
with truth we merely flirt
only thought and reason have been hurt
what did ole Dubya do
well Cindy's shirt told it true
hauled away by Secret Service
First Amendment could not be found
aah haha ah haha ah haha ah
look at all the damage he has wreaked!
The man can't even speak!
yet thousands are buried in the ground!
wasted youth
very few seek the truth
burials just be-guh uhn

only thought and reason have been hurt
we stopped askin' where's Bin-Laden
becaue Cindy got a shirt
fundies they appease

'pon our rights Repubs have trodden
with truth we can merely flirt
our children brave IEDs
only thought and reason have been hurt
burials

only thought and reason have been hurt
we stopped askin' where's Bin-Laden
because-a Cindy's got a shirt
fundies they appease
