Edmund Wallasch Hey George Lyrics
Hey George, I got some questions
To ask ya about the state
Of our union and the world
And the things we all debate
I'm just an ordinary guy
With no time for politics
But some things are kinda buggin me
Some things we need to fix
I don't have a woldwide spy network
At my beck and call
No computers or a___yst
To help me understand it all
So why is it that I could forsee
The dire consequences we have paid
For all the reckless decisions
You and your goons have made
CHORUS I
Don't ya know peace doesn't come
From the barrel of a gun
And your actions make Oval office b_______s
Look like innocent fun
Hey George, you say you're a Christian
And God tells you what to do
So what's he mean by "Do unto others
As you would have them do unto you."
Does it mean you can provoke a war
Using lies about WMD
Then when this is exposed ya say
"It's just cuz he is a torturing SOB"
When all the while you are practicing
What you so rightously condemn
With orders straight from Rumsfeld
Saying it's ok to torture them
Now I admit that this religion thing
Has always confused me a bit
So maybe you could help me sort this out
So that I can make sense of it
CHORUS I
Hey George you say you want to change the world
Spread democracy round the globe
Give freedom of speech and religion
And bring women out from under the robe
But there's a place nearby where those freedoms
Are quickly being taken away
Where scientist and preachers
Are told what they cannot say
Where women have lost their right to chose
And may lose contraception too
And separation of church and state
Is being undermined by you
Where the president thinks he's above the law
As long as he can play on our fear
So why is it when you spread your freedom
That you have to take it from here?
CHORUS II
In light of this I really dread
What you'll do in the next two years
I guess we all need to pray to God
That he'll open up your ears
So George, are you listening
To what the people say
I think most of us are sittin tight
Just waiting for the day
When you, d___ and Condi
Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz too
Put your pointy tails between your legs
And head back to timbucktoo
I just hope that when you do go
There will still be something left
Of this fragile fledgling democracy
And our world full of unrest
And you can go and rest a__ured
That you've changed it for the worse
I hope history treats you just as kind
As you've treated mother earth
CHORUS I
Hey George!
