The Lyrics

"If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier... as long as I'm the dictator." - George W. BushNow that the Republican Congress has passed legislation that illegally nullified the U.S. Constitution and given Bush carte blanche powers to torture and imprison anyone in the world on his whim, he has become the dictator that he once quipped about. As sung by Emperor Bush:
(instrumental intro)

If I were a dictator,
I'd lean on Dick Cheney.
We'd grab power in any way.
Don't need to be brainy.

I could torture and enslave,
And no one would mind me.
From terrorists plots, I'll save
You, if you'll follow blindly.

Making war through phoniness,
Making war tomorrow.
War rescues me from crony's mess.
I'll just spend and borrow.

Bombed Afghanistan, but good.
World doesn't love me.
Then I bombed Iraq, 'cause I could.
There's no one above me.

If I were a killer,
I could kill, by blinding...
People who get their news from Fox;
Shield truth from them finding.

If I were a dictator,
I'd lean on Dick Cheney.
We'd grab power in any way.
Don't need to be brainy.
We'd grab power in any way.
Don't need to be brainy.
