A Letter to an Undisclosed Bunker Beneath the White House (You Know Who You Are)

Before you can gain our respect,
You must give up old ways for new
And that’s really all you can expect.

Is it so hard for America to protect
Its own? You don’t have to start a coup
Before you can gain our respect.

With your Halliburton buddies running unchecked,
All your liabilities stand out in our view
And that’s really all you can expect.

With conservatives denying the greenhouse effect
You’ve gotta stop being a Spiro Agnew
Before you can gain our respect.

Cursing at Senators makes one suspect
That there’s something sinister about your security review
And that’s really all you can expect.

As long as you treat us with neglect
We’ll turn our backs to ones like you
And that’s really all you can expect,
Before you can gain our respect.
