'Bright Eyes' sings Bush-bashing 'When The President Talks To God' on The Tonight Show
Saddle Creek Records ^

Posted on 06/15/2005 1:12:20 PM PDT by EveningStar

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

I doubt that Leno does the booking. And he probably had no idea what this dicknose was going to sing either.

You may be right, but that really doesn't matter to me. Leno lends his name to this crap. He is responsible for what appears on his show.

I bet if he'd known in advance he would have nixed it.

If that is the case, then we should have some word from him about this, wouldn't you think? I doubt he is sitting there thinking maybe we didn't notice. If Leno is man enough to say something, I will listen. I hope he does, I have been a fan for a long time, but this sort of stuff is happening everywhere, and it appalls me. How can people say such things? I certainly understand there are political differences everywhere, but the nastiness in this country in the past few years is beyond belief. The rest of the world is laughing their butts off at us, and well they should. We are getting right down there in the gutter with the lowest of the low. It is such a shame.

If you can watch and listen without throwing up, click on the link.

I strongly suggest you take a swig of this stuff:

...Before watching that video--you'll need it. Not only are the lyrics infurating, but the singing style is just downright horrible.

Jesus, I cannot belive the amount of opinionated rubbish you guys have bothered to write here! If you don't like his music, don't listen to it. It's not too hard to avoid unlike all that mainstream crap I put up with. Yes he is 'wierd' but he also makes apologies for his voice in a couple of his albums; I don't mind it. Yes he does make political statements and yes they do seem liberal but while this particular song is blunt and sketchy, Luna, you failed to spot a couple of things: I doubt Conor is as scared of talking to God as you suggest he should be. He's not trying to say he could run the country 'better' either, I think he's trying to identify a bit of the religious governing going on; you don't care you're probably proud to be american and love your flag(ah, flags, they solve so much), but in a diverse country, all you do is alienate people. About conscription, I think you got the wrong end of the stick, no it's not mandatory but it's an attractive offer to people that have no skills and will never get a better paid job. I'm sure you think its the lower classes' own fault for being unskilled in the first place as well! I don't expect to change anybody's mind here, I just want there to be two sides to the argument. I think Conor can be quite objectionable when he's drunk and I don't think ANYBODY can claim to see the whole picture in matters of this size but I still respect him more than I respect people like us who've nothing better to do than post replies that miss the point.

Nothing is better than getting under the skin of you blind, brainwashed "conservative" cultists.

Bwhahahaha!

Get out of your mom's basement sometime.

A little daylight might help bring you back to reality.

If there's anyone who is blind and brainwashed, it's a liberal DUer type.

Why don't you address the criticism posted at #20

Are you saying this guy's music is as good as Neil Young doing "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere"?

Or does God really think that we should find other forms of energy?

Well we tried to use nuclear energy, but the NIMBYs wouldn't allow it.
