The Lyrics

Satire about Dubya's lame attempt to be moral exemplar, while trying to escape the taint of his Harken Oil deal
Harken Oil scandal stings.
Story haunts the Dim Son King.
Stock receipt, eight months late filed.
Sleaze in business now reviled.
Business scandals on the rise.
Bush administration lies.
Dubya, at most, will claim:
"Bad apples gone - no more mayhem."
Harken Oil scandal stings.
Story haunts the Dim Son King.

Harken Oil's corp'rate board
Favored Bush, whom they adored.
Even though the man was dumb.
He was Poppy Bush's son.
Big Oil-run plutocracy
Shredding our democracy.
People start to give him hell.
His business scandals really smell.
Harken Oil scandal stings.
Story haunts the Dim Son King.

Failed to stop accounting sleaze.
Failed to stop licentiousness.
Got through life with free gold rings;
Given good deals 'cause Dad pulled strings.
Filed too late, his story lies.
Bush now feigning great surprise.
Scrutinizing his net worth;
How he got rich, assured by birth.
Harken Oil scandal stings.
Story haunts the Dim Son King.
