Readers might want to first sprinkle this with Charlie Daniel Sauce, while thinking of his famous song, The Devil Went Down To Georgia.

Dedicated to every free thinking US citizen from sea to shining sea.

DEVIL IN A CHOIR ROBE

Before a recent photo-op in Rome
da da da ... da da da ...

A devil came up from Texas
After bankrupting the Lone Star State,
Folks, give this devil his due.
Next he's in your house
Of the rising sun
Stealing your savings & future too!

Feigning praying in Church
Oh, that devil came into D C
Then picked up a broom
And said: I'm doing some sweeping
I'm actually fat with sins,
Quite greedy,
I need me ALL the room!
da da da ... da da da ...

When he picked up his mighty broom
Civil rights went in the dust pan
On the way to the trash bin
You know damn well he got
That thur Patriot Act
Because of bin Laden .... Oh Oh OH!

Outside the Oval Office,
On the way out the door,
That Devil down in Washington,
Stands to take even more ... OH OH OH!

With discontent of a harlequin,
Jealous of the courage of the fightin men (and women)
He decides to start a major,
Catastrophic War!
A War! Key-rye-iced sakes!
A bloody WAR! Oh, oh, oh ...

Killing many a soldier,
Enlisted at the time,
Maiming some 6,000 more.
Nowhere to hide from orders
No place to run, son.
Enter Mr. Halliburton
To sweep out scores
Of honest fightin men,
Allow Dump-the-Rump Rummy to not
Equip the troops
In a terrible unjust war
Oh, oh, oh ...

Now the devil down in D C
Took a firm grip on his historic broom.
Eyed with incompetent envy
Our gallant sons and daughters
Who in their right mind has nerve
To ask for anything more?
During a mismanaged, catalytic war?

Look away little children,
Hide your eyes moms & dads for
The devil down in Washington
Vows to again line his coffers,
He intends to up the score.

We're the ones, he's after
Your money or your life
Intent on society,

Our country,

Our past liberty.

This devil down in DC
Wants more and more and more.
Sweep, sweeep, sweeep!

No, maybe you don't think so?
Please do yourself a favor
Ask farmers, ask labor.
Ask the military,
Ask the Navy
Who know this greedy bastard.
Same guy, tax free media moguls
Laud as their creative
Christian savior.

Now you can write it down.
Read his lips.
That devil raves each day
His plans are plain to see,
Causing all the fuss.
He's wielding the broom from Hades!
Run boys, run girls run
To the closest protest bus.

Hawking snidey, interior changes,
Newspapers & TV wear us ragged.
The devil wants his way.
So they say, and say and say.

From commoners, the proletariat
One hundred million strong,
Old and young,
Like next door neighbors,
Basically FROM us ... you and me,
The fiend down in D C
Covets with his greed
Our only known salvation ...
Oh, Jesus, no! ---

Not ... OUR Social Security!!!

OH!!! OH!!! OHHH!
