He Was Blinded By The Right
Dedicated to former right winger David Brock, author of the book, "Blinded By The Right"
(Sung to the tune of "Blinded By The Light" by Manfred Mann & The Earth Band)
Guest song parody by Daedalus

(instrumental intro)

Chorus:
He was blinded by the right,
Distorting the truth, another rumor and soundbite.
Blinded by the right,
Distorting the truth, another rumor and soundbite.

Madman Mellon* ponders, "Clinton must go under, need to catch him in an act."
From the dumps, comes a chump, writes a hack, factless book and paid for his Hill attack
With a boulder on his shoulder, feelin' kinda bolder, he joined the Troopergate crowd.
With this very unpleasin', sleazin', weaselin', the cabal see's what dirt could be found

(instrumental break)

He was blinded by the right,
Distorting the truth, another rumor and soundbite.
Blinded by the right,
Distorting the truth, another rumor and soundbite.

The Paula Jones huckster with a manager mister, told 'em, she got what it takes.
She said "I'll turn you on, Tyrrell, to something strong, as long as there's cash to make."
Soon blowhard Ken Starr was checkin' out Bill Clinton's cock to see if it was caught outside.
And little Danny Burton came by with his hypocrisy and took all the people for a ride.

(instrumental break)

He was blinded by the right,
Distorting the truth, another rumor and soundbite.
Blinded by the right,
Distorting the truth, another rumor and soundbite.

Facts not found and he never got tired.
Brock's gonna make it up.... and write...
He's gonna make it up... and write...

(instrumental break)

Rush Limbaugh, that's where the hate is...
Bill Bennett, that's where the hate is...
Didn't we always tell you not to listen to the lies of these ones...
Distortion, that's where their cash is...

This brimstone baritone anti-Clinton philandering preacher from the east
Says, "Dethrone that Clinton bum", hits him with a phony charge, then what they expected least.
See the American people moan, realize what their up to, watching the House just prance.
And the thoughtful Senate says bogus charges voted down, giving Bill a second chance.
The cabal's hopes crashed to the ground, but he was...

He was blinded by the right,
Distorting the truth, another rumor and soundbite.
Blinded by the right,
Distorting the truth, another rumor and soundbite.

(Chorus is sung over last two verses)
Madman Mellon ponders, Clinton must go under, need to catch him in an act
From the dumps, comes a chump, writes a factless book and paid for his Hill attack
With a boulder on his shoulder, feelin' kinda bolder, he joined the Troopergate crowd
With this very unpleasin', sleazin', weaselin', the cabal see's what dirt could be found

Now Brock, with morals shot finally found a tender spot and finds his latest to be panned
And the hotshots, forget-me-nots said David's lyin', privately wants the book to be banned
The Paula Jones huckter with a manager mister, told 'em, she got what it takes
She said "I'll turn you on, Tyrrell to something strong...

Mend his ways and finally got tired.
He's gonna tell us all and write...



*Madman Mellon = Richard Mellon Scaife, reclusive Pittsburgh billionaire, financier of numerous right wing causes
