about

written in Madison, WI in December of 2006... more or less a rant against George W.

lyrics

Bill sat there at his desk and peddled the fake news,
while students in Tehran burned everything they knew.

It isn't all that bad, it's time that it fell through, and all that consequence of broken lines that Useless drew.

Useless was a friend to all who wouldn't die,
in battle, but instead, weighed down heavy with lies.

It isn't what you said that you'd come here to do,
and all that consequently was undone, undone by you.

It isn't all that bad, it's time that it fell through,
and all that Useless had, is all that Useless knew,
and all that Useless said was just as useless, too.

This time he'll be assured, he'll sing a happy tune,
'cause daddy will be proud, his war has made the news.

It isn't all that bad, expected it from you,
so many its just sad, were blatantly misused.

It isn't all that bad, it's time that shit fell through,
and all that Useless had, is all that Useless knew,
and all that Useless said was just as useless too.
