I met Michael Moore who sang the blues

And I asked him for some happy news

But the Oscar winner just turned away.

I went down to that bloody scene

Where all the protests weren't worth a bean

The elephants had stolen another one.

And in the streets the donkeys screamed

The soldiers cried and the poets dreamed,

But hardly a word was spoken

Who knows? Come drink another beer and toast the day Democracy died,

We'll be singin'....

Bye, bye, Miss American Dream,
