|
Rain magic up down America (Election campaign) And on comes our man (George Bush I) With a smile that's taken years to fix( Fixed smile = insincere) Spreading pestilence and disease (Wars started by him) To those old women Who couldn't know no difference (Ignorant, innocent 3rd world (or non-Western) victims) And now I know I want to know I want to know Is this going to be the one (Biblical reference — the one = the messiah who redeems the world of its evil) The one who gets it done? (Biblical and literal — end of the world) Sell me the burning bush (Christian selling a Jewish story - meant to be taken figuratively but with literal intentions) Tell me I'm burning Bush (Pun: 'Burning' to know/be sold/join the war OR burning with embarrassment) Maybe we should burn Bush (What most Arabs want to do) I believe in feeling for the next ones (Like a good Christian should feel for the meek) The ones who cannot cope It's a land full of heart attacks (Disease caused by Western lifestyle and diet arranged by the unfeeling corporations mentioned also in Brian Eno’s Bottom Liners) Money builds McDonalds and Coca-Cola (The corporate cause of so much disease) The corporations own the very air that you breathe And I want to know I want to know I want to know Is this going to be the one The one who drops the bomb (Satan ending the world?The great Satan of the Arab world?) The one who gets it done? Tell me I'm burning Bush Maybe we should burn Bush I want to know I want to know I want to know Is this going be the one The one who drops the bomb The one who gets it done? Tell me I'm burning Bush Maybe we should burn Bush |
