John Fogerty's, "Long Dark Night"

Georgie's in the jungle
Knockin' on the door
Come to get your children
Wants to have a war ...
Rummie's in the kitchen
Messin' with the pans
Dickie's in the back
Stealin' everything he can ...
Running down the highway
Shoutin' to the LORD
Georgie's got religion
And you know we can't afford more years
Who They Mention:
George Walker Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, and God

Paid a visit on you
