It is Sunday, After All



When The President Talks To God by Bright Eyes

When the president talks to God
Are the conversations brief or long
Does he ask to rape our women’s' rights
And send poor farm kids off to die?
Does God suggest an oil hike
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
Are the consonants all hard or soft?
Is he resolute all down the line?
Is every issue black or white?
Does what God say ever change his mind
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
Does he fake that drawl or merely nod?
Agree which convicts should be killed?
Where prisons should be built and filled?
Which voter fraud must be concealed
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
I wonder which one plays the better cop
We should find some jobs. the ghetto's broke
No, they're lazy, George, I say we don't
Just give 'em more liquor stores and dirty coke
That's what God recommends

When the president talks to God
Do they drink near beer and go play golf
While they pick which countries to invade
Which Muslim souls still can be saved?
I guess god just calls a spade a spade
When the president talks to God

When the president talks to God
Does he ever think that maybe he's not?
That that voice is just inside his head
When he kneels next to the presidential bed
Does he ever smell his own bullshit
When the president talks to God?

I doubt it

I doubt it

Wow. I think I just met my new best buddy. Thanks for that introduction to Bright Eyes!

It is funny...Leno has been on my last nerve lately...but there is a bit of redemption for having this guy on!

When the pRresident, talks to God, she ignores him.

The only god Dubya talks to is his god of death & destruction.

He may talk to Him, but Bush sure don't listen.

Great song.

Peace.

This president wouldn't know God if s/he smacked him.

Which wouldn't be a bad idea.

(Note to Secret Service: It's a metaphor. I'm a pacifist.)

Just checking in seeing how things are going. We miss you. Come back to us when you can.
You would be proud. I went to a kick-ass anti-war demonstration in Austin on Saturday.
It rocked!
