Satirical re-write of the full length version of "America The Beautiful" by Jay Esbe
O dutiful to specious lies To wickedness for gain For plutocrat’s dear President Above the law remains America! America! Bush brought disgree to thee And crowned his Skulls in brotherhood From fee to wicked fee!
O beautiful to Latin feet Who’s crossing’s not denied A thoroughfare of the labor cheap Across the desert die America! America! Bush crushed thee with the cost Confirmed the men who’ll make him King Thy liberty is lost!
O beautiful for contractors In occupation’s strife Who more than country profit loved And earnings more than life! America! America! Now Bush thy King defines Till all his soldiers meet their fate And he’s declared divine!
O beautiful for Patriot Act That lasts beyond four years Thine flooded southern coastline rots Now wet with human tears! America! America! Bush dropped a turd on thee And crowned his Skulls with brotherhood From fee to wicked fee!
O beautiful for smog filled skies For bearing acid rain For plutocrat’s dear President Remains though he’s insane America! America! Bush cast disgrace on thee As black one’s bummed he played and strummed And ‘Orleans met the sea
O beautiful to Latin feet Who’s crossing’s not denied A thoroughfare of the labor cheap Across the desert die America! America! Bush crushed thy sovereignty The only jobs to Mexicans His freedom’s not for thee
O beautiful for photo ops On aircraft flight deck’s glee When once again for polling points He lied again to thee America! America! Bush pushed one out on thee His reeking Mission Accomplished sign The banner for the fee
O beautiful for patriot act That lasts beyond four years Thine flooded southern coastline rots As he goes after queers America! America! Bush shat a load on thee And crowned his Skulls with brotherhood - A whiter New Orleans
