Baba Brinkman - Symptom lyrics

Bush is just a symptom of the ignorant citizens Who elected him, a simpleton in a crib full of infants As if a woman afraid of intercourse married an impotent Man, and the cycle begins again… Your president's a reflection of your national temperament So it's no wonder you're sensitive, but I'm tryin' to make sense of this ‘Cause if he really did cheat to win both elections Even with no deception he would've been a close second So there's really no consensus, just a polarized electorate With both sides protected by their own misconceptions So many well-intentioned souls with loaded weapons Arms control begins at home! It's no question Why the twenty-first century has been a disgrace It's ‘cause the United States keeps shooting their friends in the face The money wasted on wars could be spent in better ways But the president gets away with “whatever it takes” Maybe it's just a phase in the democratic process A population with an apathetic consciousness Is gonna end up with some ba*tards in office At least until the problem is solved by the same people who caused it Bush is just a symptom of the ignorant citizens Who elected him, a simpleton in a crib full of infants As if a woman afraid of intercourse married an impotent Man, and the cycle begins again… It's no wonder your president's as dense as a fence post It's a direct result of those who neglected to vote Oh, you don't think so? Come on, look at the trends John Kerry had to pretend that he couldn't speak French And if you're always going to resent intelligent women and men Then you're never gonna get another Jefferson And the consequence of indifference goes beyond borders ‘Cause now the burden of peace rests on a neo-con's shoulders And the war goes on, even without Saddam's orders It's a melting pot of brown, yellow, black and blonde soldiers And the bombs over Baghdad have tags attached That read: “Courtesy of American Non-Voters” And as Iraq smolders, there's trouble at home And now the president sits on a crumbling throne And every piece that falls off is a stumbling stone Until he's left in the rubble alone Bush is just a symptom of the ignorant citizens Who elected him, a simpleton in a crib full of infants As if a woman afraid of intercourse married an impotent Man, and the cycle begins again… This is just a little message from your neighbours to the North You know, the ones you impersonate when you visit foreign shores ‘Cause they spit in your face whenever you step outside your borders Universal outrage when your president signs orders You've got this huge economy, beautiful music and comedy And some of the worst abuses of democracy on earth I hear your bombs and rockets burst, and all I've got is words But I've also got supporters and American friends Determined to make sure this age of arrogance ends So they never have to apologize embarra**ed again When they discuss themselves; relax, bloody hell My great grandmother was a Southern Belle, plus I've got California cousins That I love as well, but your government's a tougher sell As you can tell I've got a thing for rap, so thanks for that But you can have your tanks back, and the next chance You yanks have to change tracks, for God's sake, act! Bush is just a symptom of the ignorant citizens Who elected him, a simpleton in a crib full of infants As if a woman afraid of intercourse married an impotent Man, and the cycle begins again… Bush is just a symptom of the ignorant citizens Who elected him, a simpleton in a crib full of infants As if a woman afraid of intercourse married an impotent Man, and the cycle begins again… Don't let it
