He Will Pay Dearly Now
Satire about Bush's proposed Terrorism Information & Prevention System (TIPS) of local spies
(Sung to the tune of "I Can See Clearly Now" by Johnny Nash)


As sung by a right-wing cable guy/TIPS spy after snooping on another house with his telescope:

(instrumental intro)

He will pay dearly now; the owner's gone.
While he was home, I taped what he had to say.
Runs with a bad crowd, and speaks his mind.

He'll be reported right (right), right (right)
Yes, sir, right away.
He'll be reported right (right), right (right)
Yes, sir, right away.

My muscles are aching now; been up since dawn.
After what I'm revealing, he may "disappear."
Turning in pinkos - what they pay me for.

They'll be reported right (right), right (right)
Yes, sir, right away.
They'll be reported right (right), right (right)
Yes, sir, right away.

We're all around, we're Dubya's new spies.
While you're in bed, we'll catch you by surprise...

He will pay dearly now; the owner's gone.
While he was home, I taped what he had to sayl.
Runs with a bad crowd, and speaks his mind.

He'll be reported right (right), right (right)
Yes, sir, right away.
He'll be reported right (right), right (right)
Yes, sir, right away.

We're all around, we're Dubya's new spies.
While you're in bed, we'll catch you by surprise...

He will pay dearly now; the owner's gone.
While he was home, I taped what he had to sayl.
Runs with a bad crowd, and speaks his mind.

He'll be reported right (right), right (right)
Yes, sir, right away.
He'll be reported right (right), right (right)
Yes, sir, right away.

He'll be reported right (right), right (right)
Yes, sir, right away.
He'll be reported right (right), right (right)
Yes, sir, right away.

(repeat refrain and fade)
