Anyone remember Bush's 2000 Campaign Theme song?
Clinton's was "Don't stop thinking about tomorrow"...

If you don't recall, you will :puke: with irony when you find out.

8. It is ironic!
Won't Get Fooled Again
byTownshend, The Who

We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song

Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again

The change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fold, that's all
And the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they are flown in the next war

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
No, no!

I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
Though I know that the hypnotized never lie
Do ya?

There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

17. We the People..
A campaign theme song used by Republican presidential candidate Texas Gov. George W. Bush appears on its way to becoming a surprise hit for country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, a lifelong Democrat.

The song, "We The People," is at No. 71 on Billboard magazine's Hot Country singles and tracks chart, even though it has yet to be released as a single.

It was offered this summer to both the Bush and Gore campaigns by Monument Records, a division of Sony Music Nashville. The GOP jumped on the country rock tune first, and it debuted on national television in August after Mr. Bush's acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in Philadelphia.

Since then, the soaring, guitar-heavy anthem to working people has been used to cap off Bush-Cheney rallies around the ...

28. What else?? For the LOVE of MONEY O'Jays
For the love of money
People will steal from their mother
For the love of money
People will rob their own brother
For the love of money
People can't even walk the street
Because they never know who in the world they're gonna beat
For that lean, mean, mean green
Almighty dollar, money


Sounds about right for BushCo and his regime...
