Smog Over Houston

Smog Over Houston
(Sung to the tune of "Smoke On The Water" by Deep Purple)
Guest song parody by Skisics Surus, skisics@yahoo.com

(instrumental intro)

Bush became a governor
He said he wanted clean air
But when it came to regulations
Didn’t want companies to share

With cleaning up the smokestacks
Wants voluntary enforcement
Won’t force them into clean up
As long as dollars are sent

Smog over Houston,
It’s very hard to breathe
Smog over Houston...
(guitar riff)

With self-regulation
The businesses went to town
They keep on filling Bush’s coffers
They know he won’t let them down

Now they ring up their profits
And laugh in the people’s face
Bush thinks he can snow them over
During this presidential race

Smog over Houston,
It’s very hard to breathe
Smog over Houston...
(guitar riff)

(long instrumental break)

Now they find it hard to breathe
Another pollution alarm
Bush thinks the companies
Don’t want anyone to be harmed

Now that Houston passes LA
As the most polluted yet
Hopefully people in this country
Give Bush a lesson he won’t soon forget

Smog over Houston,
It’s very hard to breathe
Smog over Houston
