Lies, Lies, Lies? Yeah!
An ode to "Secession Sarah," with a nod to the Thompson Twins:
you said you're a reformer
so we don't understand
why earmarks in alaska
are the highest in the land
(the bigger, the better )
no earmark was too small
and bridges leading nowhere
you supported it, good call!
(chorus)
lies lies lies yeah
lies lies lies yeah
lies lies lies yeah
do we have to vet you out
to know what's on your mind?
well, since the old man didn't bother
we've got plenty of time
troopergate and babygate
and some you can't disguise
twisted truth and half the news
can't hide it in your eyes
lies lies lies yeah
lies lies lies yeah
lies lies lies yeah
you say you'll try harder
but some think it's just too late
we've seen what you're made of
and we think you're not that great.
the the handlers and writers
just showed us who you are
broadcast all around the world
your lies go on and on and on and on and on and
lies lies lies yeah (they're gonna get you)
lies lies lies yeah (they won't forget you)
lies lies lies yeah (they're gonna get you)
oh you know we know
(REPEAT CHORUS...and repeat and repeat to ensure McCain/Palin doesn't get anywhere near the White House.)
Stefania Pomponi Butler's gloves are off.

All i know is I've been treated extremely harsh by liberals who's caring questions when my dad died were used against me to try and get me FIRED and thus LOOSE MY HOME. So F.Y. liberals You are all the most cruel, mean-spirited people, cliquey, people I have ever had the mistake of coming into contact with. Imagine yourself, ganged up upon by co-workers spreading lies about you because of perceptions and rumors, I pray to God (or whomever you worship Baal) that something like that never happens to you.

Rousing applause.
Wish I had a recording studio in my basement. And a few hours with the Thompson Twins. This needs to be recorded.
