"Republicans Rule the World"
Musical Blog #4: April 30, 2007
My exhasperation with my fellow Americans and their choice of representatives often comes out in satirical songs. Since the presidential debate in which the current occupant of the White House accused Al Gore of using "fuzzy math," I have been trying to hang said occupant with the nickname "Fuzzy." His most frequently heard nicknames, Dubya and Shrub, just don't cut it. It may be a little late in the nicknaming game, but there's always hope.
This was written back in 2003 in hopes of influencing the 2004 elections. Didn't work. The elections of 2006 changed the political dynamic, and while a few of the characters mentioned in this tune are gone, most lyrics still apply, and Fuzzy continues to rule.
Republicans Rule the World
© Skeptico Music—BMIFuzzy Wuzzy was a Bush
Republicans rule the world
Into the Oval Office he did push
Republicans rule the world
They stole the White House fair and square
Paid big money to put Fuzzy there
And they don't give a damn if you don't care
So get used to it boys and girls
Republicans rule the world.
He got far fewer votes that day
Republicans rule the world
But five black robes said it's okay
Republicans rule the world
They got the Senate they got the House
They got the Court they got the South
Their talking heads got the biggest mouths
So buckle up boys and girls
'Cause Republicans rule the world.
Well Fuzzy took Al Gore to task
Republicans rule the world
Accusing him of "fuzzy math"
Republicans rule the world
But he talks out his cowboy hat
At fuzzy math he is the champ
Now two and two is five at last
So watch your wallets boys and girls
ÕCause Republicans rule the world.
Now Fuzzy he got C's in school
Republicans rule the world
Dumb but rich was pretty cool
Republicans rule the world
So don't confuse him with the facts
Or laugh too hard at his syntax
He's the best there is at scratchin' backs
It's how they do it boys and girls
It's how Republicans rule the world.
Now Fuzzy he was born a Bush
Republicans rule the world
With a silver spoon and a golden tush
Republicans rule the world
He gave big tax cuts to the rich
That you'll pay for with deficits
That he'll pass down to your grandkids
So hunker down boys and girls
ÕCause Republicans rule the world.
Well Fuzzy declared all out war
Republicans rule the world
On the middle class and on the poor
Republicans rule the world
So kiss off your democracy
Say hello to their plutocracy
And hereditary dynasties
With tax-free barons, dukes, and earls
Now that Republicans rule the world.
Well I won't talk about Fuzzy's war
Republicans rule the world
I'm gonna talk about two wars before
Republicans rule the world
Yeah Fuzzy and his buddies could have gone
And proved they were men in Vietnam
But they chickened out the whole war long
It's in the record boys and girls
Yeah chickenhawks rule the world.
Well things are going from bad to worse
Republicans rule the world
It's a voodoo economic curse
Republicans rule the world
Beware whatever they say is true
Bend over when they're hosing you
Or Ashcroft will come after after you
With handcuffs boys and girls
'Cause Republicans rule the world.
Yeah Republicans rule, Republicans rule
Republicans rule the world
Republicans rule, Republicans rule
Republicans rule the world.
