Lyrics to "Dubya Bush Superstar" (satire)

[begin_within]

Sung to the tune of "Superstar" from JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR:

VOICE OF MICHAEL MOORE:

Every time I look at you I don't understand
Why you let the things you did get so out of hand.
You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned.
Why'd you choose pre-emptive war in such a strange land?
For $200 billion you could have bought a whole nation.
Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication.
Don't you get me wrong.
I only want to know.

PROTESTERS:

Dubya Bush, Dubya Bush,
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Dubya Bush Superstar,
Do you think you're what they say you are?

VOICE OF MICHAEL MOORE:

Tell me what you think about your friends at the top.
Who'd you think besides yourself's the pick of the crop?
Reagan, was he where it's at? Is he where you are?
Could ol' Ronnie move a mountain, or was that just PR?
Do you mean to die like that? Was that a mistake, or
Did you know your messy death would be a record breaker?
Don't you get me wrong.
I only want to know.

PROTESTERS:

Dubya Bush, Dubya Bush,
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Dubya Bush Superstar,
Do you think you're what they say you are?
(Repeat many times)

Sung to "Everything's All Right" from JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR:

CONDOLEEZA RICE:

Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you, oh.
Don't you know
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine.
And we want you to sleep well tonight.
Let the world turn without you tonight.
If we try, we'll get by, so forget all about us tonight

ENTIRE CABINET:

Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes.

CONDOLEEZA RICE:

Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you, and anoint you.
Myrrh for your hot forehead, oh.
Then you'll feel
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine.
And it's cool, and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet.
Close your eyes, close your eyes
And relax, think of nothing tonight.

ENTIRE CABINET:

Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes.

DENNIS KUCINICH:

Woman your fine ointment, brand new and expensive
Should have been saved for the poor.
Why has it been wasted? We could have raised maybe
Three hundred silver pieces or more.
People who are hungry, people who are starving
They matter more than your feet and hair!

CONDOLEEZA RICE:

Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you, oh.
Don't you know

ENTIRE CABINET:

Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes.

DUBYA BUSH:

Surely you're not saying we have the resources
To save the poor from their lot?
There will be poor always, pathetically struggling.
Look at the good things you've got.
Think while you still have me!
Move while you still see me!
You'll be lost, and you'll be sorry when I'm gone.

CONDOLEEZA RICE:

Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you and anoint you.
Myrrh for your hot forehead/
Then you'll feel
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine.
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet.
Close your eyes, close your eyes, and relax
Think of nothing tonight.

ENTIRE CABINET:

Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes.

CONDOLEEZA RICE:

Close your eyes, close your eyes, and relax
