Silver Spoon
(Sung to the tune of "Cats In The Cradle" by Harry Chapin)
Guest song parody by skisics surus, skisics@yahoo.com

(instrumental opening)

Bush's son survived just on his fame
He was placed in the Guard because of his name
Got bailed out of his bad business deals
Made cash from the Rangers, he just greased the wheels
Was elected Governor, wants the White House soon
He'd say, "I'm gonna be like Dad, yeah,
You know, I'm gonna be like Dad".

Shrub was born with his mouth on a silver spoon
His handlers hope he grows up real soon
When he'll win the White House, we don't know when
He'll care for his buddies then
They know they'll have a good time then

(instrumental break)

Shrub got nominated just the other day
As the son of a Bush, he got his way
Gathered his Dad's cronies to run his campaign
Chose Dick Cheney as a running mate, with no shame
Like his Dad, he then started with the attack ads
He said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah,
You know I'm gonna be like him"

Shrub was born with his mouth on a silver spoon
His handlers hope he grows up real soon
When he'll win the White House, we don't know when
He'll care for his buddies then
They know they'll have a good time then

Shrub's campaign used every trick they could
Deceived and lied, like we knew they would
He was forced to debate, sent a tape to Gore
To explain why his debate performance was poor
His Dad is still proud, his son runs like he did
Cheat and lie, he is really his kid

Shrub was born with his mouth on a silver spoon
His handlers hope he grows up real soon
When he'll win the White House, we don't know when
He'll care for his buddies then
They know they'll have a good time then

(instrumental break)

Shrub has lost the election, hard for him to say
He tried to explain his failure away
He said, "The voters must have lost their minds"
"I should have won, I had tailored all my lies."
So he called up his dad, who explained it to him:
"You just don't know how to win, son...
You just don't know how to win"

And as he hung up the phone, it occurred to Pop
Junior lost, just like me
My boy was just like me

Shrub was born with his mouth on a silver spoon
His handlers hope he grows up real soon
When he'll win the White House, we don't know when
He'll care for his buddies then
They know they'll have a good time then
They know they'll have a good time then
