This is an adaptation of the Stones "Sympathy for the Devil" that I wrote in 2001 while still frothing from the mouth over election 2000.
SYMPATHY FOR THE BEDEVILED a spoof by -V-
(listen to it here (http://progressivesonline.com/election/index.htm))
please allow me to introduce myself, i was born of wealth and taste
i campaigned for a long long year, stole many a man's soul for a tax rebate
i was around when kathrin harris and jeb, turned 22,000 black voters away
made damn sure judge scalia, washed his hands and sealed gore's fate
pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name,
but what's puzzling you is the nature of my game
i bombed around afganistan till i felt it was time for a change
kill saddham and his ministers while the world cried out in vain
i drove and drank and held a CEO's rank
then i sold my stock before the company tanked
I shouted out, "who killed the economy"
when after all, it was Dick and me
and who sacrificed social security,
for corporate welfare and for bigger bombs
and who sold out the environment and our energy,
in closed meetings with the halliburtons and enrons
pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name,
but what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game
well maybe martha stewart is a criminal,
and every priest is no saint
but i know jesus christ was a liberal,
and im conservative in need of restraint
ill unify the church and state,
and divide every school,
and give the rich every break
ill crucify e v e r y prisoner,
and send your sons and daughters to be slayed,
for the oil gods we made
pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name,
but what's troubling you is the, childish things I say
i say nah nah nah nah to the the evil ones,
bring it on, i'll hunt you down and smoke you out
but as heads is tails they call me simpleton,
but don't mess with texas, i may be wrong, but i am proud!
so if you meet me, excuse my hypocrisy,
cause i am blinded by wealth and faith
just say hail to the thief, and pray down on your knees
that my super power doesn't lay your whole world to waste
and i'll say nah nah nah nah nah
