someone needs to do an anti-Kerry parody of Queensryche's "Silent Lucidity"
"Nuanced Duplicity"
As you wish:
No, I didn't lie;
Screw you if you don't "get" my reply.
When asked I've always said,
"We had to oust Saddam
Or we'd be dead."
Your mind tricked you to hear the blame
'Cause when I said "wrong war" it's not the same (at all).
So here it is, my only stance:
Should we be in the Middle East?
Yes, most surely... which is to say, no way!
To this day I've tried and tried
To clue you peons in to my replies.
You know it's not unfair
To vote to for us go to war... and then despair.
When the vote came to my turn
To arm the men, well I had to send
A message loud and clear
That going off to fight a war
Is never right, and I should know:
I fought in Viet-nam!
I- I will never lie to you.
I- I will help you see the truth.
I- I will show you that I'm right.
I- I offer up this ruse, in Nuanced Duplicity.
NUANCED DUPLICITY
"Hush now, don't you cry,
Help is on the way", said that Edwards guy
His lying face is red
It was all a bad scheme
Spinning his words again
Like that Clinton dude, "I feel your pain".
He was just "this close" to leaving the game of life
So here it is, another chance
Today I'll change my stance again
My campaign is over... or has it just begun?
There's a phrase I like to ride
"Wrong war, wrong place, at the wrong time"
The facts I've got for you are there
But you'll have to visit my site; See right there.
It's a place where you will learn
Bush played our fears, and wasted years
While I swept for land mines.
I'm commanding in another world (FRANCE)
Vote for me and you will see
My magic administration
I- will/won't be watching over you
I- am/am not gonna raise taxes for you
I- will/won't protect you in the night
I- am smiling next to you, in Nuanced Duplicity
-spoken during solo-
[Let's change the regime]
[Speak in the past tense]
[Put it into a erasable form]
[If you have surrogates send it to CBS]
[You can achieve media control]
[Media control]
[How's that then, better? I just changed my position.]
[Vote for Me!]
If you promise to vote for me
The blind will open their eyes to see
The chair you're stuck within
Comes tumbling down, as new nerve cells begin
Speaking twice at once you learn
You're safe from the pain with my dream campaign
If you'll believe the lies
of my little attorney friend
Master of illusion, yes let's globalize
My plan's alive, let me be your guide but...
I- If I don't win I will sue
My - wife help to see it through
I- won't be sleeping well that night
I'll - See you on November 2...
Actually, I had planned to do a song about the liberals and use that as the basis and call it "Violent Stupidity"...
"Nuanced Duplicity"
How about...
