I’m Karl Rove – call me Herr
Why should I even care
If you’re poor or in need or you starve eh?
I think I’m quite fair
Why do they compare
What I am to white grubs or fly larvae?
Me? I never harmed anyone
I never had any fun
In high school they all called me fatso
They mooed like a cow
But I get even now
I’m the phattest of fat plutocrats oh –
I am the puppeteer
I pull the strings from the rear
I pull the strings
(Like I used to pull wings)
Off butterflies
In my teen-age years
I was George W’s brain
Christ, what a huge fucking strain
A real mental hernia
But how can it concern ya
When this new bunch
Owns “Dumb” the domain
Ohhh – This –
New bunch owns “Dumb” the domain
This new bunch owns “Dumb” the domain
“Smart’s” elitism
Code word: Socialism
Don’t trust anyone with a brain
I’m Karl Rove call me Herr
Who said life should be fair
If you’re poor I don’t mind if you’re poorer
A job? You don’t need it
A voice? G’wan beat it
I’m the one per cent’s money insurer
I am Karl Rove master schemer
I own a Rolls and a Beemer
Wanna get rich vote for us
That’s the Tea Party chorus
And if you believe that you too are a dreamer

You speak it so well, Tony.
I am not that up with politics, but I do know absolutely George Bush made me sick – everything he said, way he said it, his policies. And that thing about pulling wings off butterflies – oh sickly perfect imagery.
I don’t know Karl Rove, but I like your rhyme.

I just watched Bush’s Brain on Current. Imagine the pain and suffering that may have been avoided if this guy could have gotten fucked in high school.
