We Got Back the Plague Lyrics
That easygoing man of blood
Mucking about in the McClennan County mud
If you're hoping he won't, well course then he must
While driving his truck through the McClennan County dust
Well I read in my book on Sunday afternoon
So it's easy to think the end's coming soon
But though sometimes the signs from heaven are vague
Early November we got back the plague
While beautiful Laura's sweeping the porch
He's teleconferencing up his operation torch
And I don't care if he bombs Babylon to hell
Except for he's building Babylon here as well
Well I read in my book on Sunday afternoon
So it's easy to think the end's coming soon
But though sometimes the signs from heaven are vague
Early November we got back the plague
Waking up in Cedar Rapids looking for allies
Praising his leaches and looking for likewise
Down in St. Charles local talent he hawks
Smirking and sowing the wind as he talks
Well I read in my book on Sunday afternoon
So it's easy to think the end's coming soon
But though sometimes the signs from heaven are vague
Early November we got back the plague
In Northern Virginia on their excursions
Or LUVN with all their diversions
Horns for hounds and spurs for horses
Release the committed 72-hour task forces
Well I read in my book on Sunday afternoon
So it's easy to think the end's coming soon
But though sometimes the signs from heaven are vague
Early November we got back the plague
Bentonville and Dallas with gasoline douse
Then back to Crawford going over the firehouse
Behind the curtains not too much of a trick
Sicking ourselves to make ourselves sick
Well I read in my book on Sunday afternoon
So it's easy to think the end's coming soon
But though sometimes the signs from heaven are vague
Early November we got back the plague
That easygoing man of blood
Mucking about in the McClennan County mud
If you're hoping he won't, well course then he must
While driving his truck through the McClennan County dust
Mucking about in the McClennan County mud
If you're hoping he won't, well course then he must
While driving his truck through the McClennan County dust
So it's easy to think the end's coming soon
But though sometimes the signs from heaven are vague
Early November we got back the plague
He's teleconferencing up his operation torch
And I don't care if he bombs Babylon to hell
Except for he's building Babylon here as well
So it's easy to think the end's coming soon
But though sometimes the signs from heaven are vague
Early November we got back the plague
Praising his leaches and looking for likewise
Down in St. Charles local talent he hawks
Smirking and sowing the wind as he talks
So it's easy to think the end's coming soon
But though sometimes the signs from heaven are vague
Early November we got back the plague
Or LUVN with all their diversions
Horns for hounds and spurs for horses
Release the committed 72-hour task forces
So it's easy to think the end's coming soon
But though sometimes the signs from heaven are vague
Early November we got back the plague
Then back to Crawford going over the firehouse
Behind the curtains not too much of a trick
Sicking ourselves to make ourselves sick
So it's easy to think the end's coming soon
But though sometimes the signs from heaven are vague
Early November we got back the plague
Mucking about in the McClennan County mud
If you're hoping he won't, well course then he must
While driving his truck through the McClennan County dust

Pretty obviously, and gloriously, about George W. Bush. One of my favorite political songs to come out of the past five years.
God yes!
"But though sometimes the signs from heaven are vague... Early November we got back the plague".
Pity the bloody fool wouldn't be able to pick up such subtleties.
According to Matthew F, this is based on a true story; around the time of... I think it was the 2002 election, there was an actual case of bubonic plague in New York.
Great song. "Read in my book on a Sunday afternoon/So it's easy to think the end's coming soon" - referring, of course, to evangelical Christians believing Armageddon is close.
