Fall of the House of Bush

They stoned him
before he did no good

They stoned him
just because they could

They stoned him
like you knew they would

Yeah, it was just the time
to stone the man.

In a time when the Culture Wars
rage on, the last remnants
of the aborted efforts
to rewrite history,
the misplaced radicals
who live on and cast
the first stone,
will finally get their wish,
the man will be gone.

Trouble is,
he'll be walking away,
walking away
and he'll be fine,
once history
makes sense
of everything,
all his mistakes
and blunders
and justifies
his paranoia,
the mad fight
in the War on Terror,

begun long before his time,
back during previous wars,
before it became
so obvious,
with a few planes
and all the efforts afterward.

In the 25th hour,
things aren't so clear,
and that's where
he is now,
waiting,
making his way,
living his own illusions,
joining the fray,
little by little,
no one traveling with him,
and everyone,
who just don't know it,
the past and the present
and the future.

Everything falls,
every house crumbles,
all the legacies burn
but the mind remembers
and the good remains
long after the bad lingers.
