Geoff Baker - What Our Children Is Learning lyrics

rate me

Dear Mr. Kenneth Lay: What can we really say?

You grabbed at all the money that you can

And just like Halliburton, when your bottom line is hurtin

You can always send the bill to Uncle Sam

Dear Dick Cheney: Hi, it’s Earth; we met once in Ft. Worth

I called you Big Time, but your drill was short on steam

Well, you’ve screwed me ever since and when your ticker finally quits

There’ll be nowhere left to bury you that’s green

What’s the word, Big Energy?

What’s the new strategery?

Is our children learning how to see?

No, they’re learning how to sell democracy

Dear Mr. Richard Perle, one of the men who’d sell the world:

You got the war you wanted, so what now?

Every time a GI dies, do the tears well in your eyes?

Or do you just say "Fuck ‘em, I’ll get paid no matter how"?

Dear President Bush, it’s Kim Jung Il from the Axis of Evil

I watched your war on CNN, what a production!

If you’ve forgotten who I am, here’s a hint: I ain’t Saddam

I’m the one with all the weapons of mass destruction

So we're all glad you caught Saddam

But, hell, what happened to Bin Laden?

Is our children learning Dubya got him?

No, they’re learning he forgot him

Mr. Rumsfeld, my name’s Jack, I’m on the ground here in Iraq

It’s not my place to tell you how to do your thing

But you act like we’re all done when we’ve only just begun

With all these bombs it’s hard to hear that freedom ring

Hi Dubya, it’s John Ashcroft; I have worked my starched white ass off

To keep America safe and independent

Don’t tell a soul what I’m about to say, but I lost the key to Camp X-ray

Along with the 4th, the 5th, the 6th, and the 7th amendment

What’s the word there down in Gitmo?

Is the Attorney General on crack?

Is our children learning all the facts?

All they’re learning's how to take a big step back

We miss you so, Slick Willy C, and you, too, Miss Lewinsky

Since you’ve left the whole damn nation’s going down

We should have seen it coming back when Dubya started running

2004, let’s hope he’s run right out of town

And please come back, dear Kenneth Starr, no matter where you are

Now more than ever we need moral indignation

These patriots killed for good what Bin Laden never could

They’ve buried the Bill of Rights in undisclosed locations

What’s the word on the Patriot Act?

What was wrong with the Constitution?

Is our children learning the solution?

All they’re learning’s retribution<br />
