SWEET JESUS CHRIST COME ON DOWN

Karl Rove
Karl Rove
Deep inside his cove
Tried to play checkers with chess
To move one ahead
He left another dead
Will someone kindly clean up his mess?

Treason is hard
Treason is mean
To turn one's back on kith and kin
Jesus once said
(He was neither blue or red)
That which you do to them you do to me

Without Judas kiss
There is no Christian myth
Without Karl Rove
The future dims
Two years he had
To just say "My bad"
He's the kind that only mouths the hymns

(chorus)
Sweet Jesus Christ
Sweet Lord above
Redeemer for the sins of all mankind
We were so lost
And knew not the cost
Sweet Jesus Christ come on down!

Liberals deny
The true god in the sky
You can trust them to hate America
When Saddam Hussein
Lost his tyrant's reign
The liberals cried and cried and cried

Look over there
Big trouble over there
Don't waste your time looking here
We know the way
To lead the USA
Just turn that dial up on fear

When the day is done
When the light is gone
When the game has all played out
We will prevail
We will not fail
Treason is just a word that liberals shout

(chorus)
Sweet Jesus Christ
Sweet Lord above
Redeemer for the sins of all mankind
We were so lost
And knew not the cost
Sweet Jesus Christ come on down!

Karl Rove
Karl Rove
Deep inside his cove
Tried to play checkers with chess
To move one ahead
He left another dead
Will someone kindly clean up his mess?

Treason is hard
Treason is mean
To turn one's back on kith and kin
Jesus once said
(He was neither blue or red)
That which you do to them you do to me

Without Judas kiss
There is no Christian myth
Without Karl Rove
The future dims
Two years he had
To just say "My bad"
He's the kind that only mouths the hymns

(chorus)
Sweet Jesus Christ
Sweet Lord above
Redeemer for the sins of all mankind
We were so lost
And knew not the cost
Sweet Jesus Christ come on down!

The tune is the same as Lily of the West and Lakes of Ponchartrain.

Oh, I'm a good ol' liberal, Now that's just what I am;
For this "fair land of Freedom" I do so care a damn.
I'm sad I fight against it--I only wish we'd won.
Still I don't want no pardon For anything I've done.

I loves the Constitution, This great Republic too;
I hates the jingo patriot, who tells me what to do.
I hates the media zombies, With all their brag and fuss;
But the lyin', thievin' neo-cons I hates' em wuss and wuss.

We got one-and-forty-thousand troops fightin' in foreign dust.
They break and bleed and die for a war that isn't just...
I marched with all the millions to bring the landgrab to a stop
But the profiteering toadies got their contracts--good-n-hot!

So now they take my ballot? Yet I fight' em now still mo',
And I ain't a-goin'to love' em, Now that is sartin sho';
And I don't want no pardon For what I was and am;
And I won't sit down, be quiet, 'Cuz I still do give a damn.

Darryl: I only own one recording of Lily of the West (performed by the Chieftains w/Mark Knopfler on their THE LONG BLACK VEIL cd) which I am now listening to...thanks for the song.

Rocio: Yes, I write all the lyrics you read on this site, unless otherwise noted. My best to you!
