Traditional
Parody Song Title:
"Our Country Used To Be"
Parody Written by:
William Tong
The Lyrics
The melody of this song, of course, is the British anthem, "God Save The King."
(instrumental intro)
Our country used to be
A land of liberty;
Now it's right wing.
Suspects have rights denied;
Tortured, but never tried;
Things government of Bush must hide;
Mess by THE dumb king.
Our country visibly
Became theocracy,
Run by the Shrub.
He'd raid Fort Knox to kill.
Making war is his thrill.
Cronies have coffers Bush must fill
Neo-cons, his club.
(repeat verses)
