The Lyrics

As sung by Dubya Bush to Regent (er, Vice President) Dick Cheney:
(instrumental intro)

I can see why you say, "Nothing's wrong with me."
You never tried to let me think,
Or let me do one thing for myself.
'Cause people scoff that I, myself, control the throne.
I never thought that I could rule things on my own...

Cheney... what you want, I'll do.
I think... my place is with you.
Don't be riled, you're the stronger of us two...

Got to think in time to fight what they might find.
Our regime was bought by Enron - could backbite in time.
That company... has imploded, and the scandal sure has grown.
We must start a war and fight - drag it out long...
(A long war is good, you see...)

Cheney... what you want, I'll do.
I think... my place is with you.
Don't be riled, you're the stronger of us two...

(instrumental break)

Cheney... what you want, I'll do.
I think... my place is with you.
Don't be riled, you're the stronger of us two...

We can both get what we want - you lead the way.
'Cause our regime was bought by Enron - we did things their way.
Their bankruptcy... can this scandal be tied to you or to me?
Hope it's none of us, or from my family...
(Won't you look at me, I'll tell you...)

Cheney... what you want, I'll do.
I think... my place is with you.
Don't be riled, you're the stronger of us two...

Cheney... what you want, I'll do.
I think... my place is with you.
Don't be riled, you're the stronger of us two...

Don't be... fallin' on your sword for W...
Don't know what I'm gonna do...
Don't be... fallin' on your sword for W...
Not you...
