Shoot The Dog Lyrics

Cover art for Shoot The Dog lyrics by George Michael

From what I've heard, George has even admitted that this song was about how the U.S. in his mind deserved what happened on September 11th, or at least the U.S. government did. Try telling that to the people who lost their family members at the WTC who don't even work for the government, George, or the people on the airplanes. You think maybe the terrorists coulda made their anti-US governemnt statement which you agree with in a wee bit different way, Georgie?

He's also speaking out against Britain for supporting the U.S. "Tony, Tony, Tony, Tony, I know that you're horny, but something about that Bush ain't right" not only illustrates this but implies Tony Blair and Bush are having a homosexual relationship. Maybe George is hoping they're gay so he can join in on the action, I don't know.

The part that really irks me is that Michael won't release this song in the U.S. That's just being a phony and a fraud. If you want to say it, have the balls to come out and share it with the U.S. and the people whose family members died on the 11th, you coward. By not releasing it here, he's just proving that he cares more about U.S. money than U.S. foreign policy.
