| Parody Song Title: | "Life During Goretime" |
| Parody Written by: | Billy Florio |
It's a long song, so excuse me if I get a little repetitive at the end
'magin the land, if Gore won the election
Instead of that guy George Bush
How would he handle, All of the problems?
How would our nation have stood?
What would have happened, on nine eleven
What would he do at that time?
He wont take action, He wont do nothing,
Probably would give them a fine
He'd kill his party, he'd be like Clinton
With all his fooling around
No cash for defense, or lower taxes,
Only for EPA now
He'd avoid conflict, would just surrender
"why can't we all get along?"
He'd say it's our fault, and its our problem
because its our lifestyle that's wrong
He'd be concerned with, the other countries
their distribution of wealth
He'd give money to them, He'd take from our pockets
But our people need help
He'd kill his party, He'd be like Clinton
with all his fooling around
neglect all the rich, help all non-voters
But who will vote for him now?
Heard about email?, Heard about the web?
All he invented, you know
You know at this rate he'd claim he invented
Jay Leno and the Tonight Show
Got paid by Buddhists, Got paid by Chinese
Illegal election funds
But he would take our rifles, he'd take our money
Would never let us have fun
Why go to Iraq, why help the world out?
"It's not like Saddam's that bad..."
They have no rights there, He's just like Stalin
"But that doesn't make me mad"
He'd kill his party, He'd be like Clinton
with all his fooling around
He'd bomb a daycare, he'd bomb factories
"I bet we showed them all now!"
Trouble in forests, trouble in grasslands
lets help the environment
Give all our money, to stupid programs
fund by the government
He'd make us all broke, He'd take all our cash
all just to even the score
The rich wont get paid, lose all their money
he would make everyone poor
He'd fill our minds up, with lib'ral programs
All with his wrong agenda
he'd yield his power, To those of PETA
They'll have him ban all fur
He'd find some way to, restrict all our rights
he'd take away all our guns
he'd work his way through, all the amendments
and then he'll ban number one!
Be glad he isn't, in power today
Don't know how we'd survive
At least he isn't, just like Ralph Nader
He'd tell us all not to drive
He'd drive me crazy, with his slow talking
I say its part of his plan
If he was in charge, He'd try to make us
All part of Afghanistan
Instead of that guy George Bush
How would he handle, All of the problems?
How would our nation have stood?
What would have happened, on nine eleven
What would he do at that time?
He wont take action, He wont do nothing,
Probably would give them a fine

Gee, I dunno, Billy...I mean, I don't think Gore would go foolin' around, because I'm sure Tipper does put out ;-)
This was about as truthful as any of Bush's speeches, and about as funny as one of Gore's. As Dick Smothers would say, "That was not a compliment!" Oh well, at least the pacing was right. Which isn't the most important thing, unless you're in an international figure skating competition. Not that I'm bitter...
Actully Rice, I was talking about Clinton (I thought that line was going to be ambigous)... Michael, pacing's pretty damn important....anyway, I find Gore's speechs quite humorous..and Bush's quite truthful..but anyway, to quote Rick Nelson, "You can't please everyone, so you better please yourself"
An intelligent piece of work, I like it.
Ah, yes...the way it was worded made it sound like Gore was gonna fool around too, you see that too? Good parody regardless.
Thanks for the kind words guys
I love your parody. I just hope that Silly Bonez sees it.
