Johnny Yoo

Johnny Yoo
(sung to the tune "Doctor Woo" by Steely Dan)

Cheney lied
He was seeking genocide
He was on the darkest side
Of hard tomorrows
Yoo would spin
And the night was filled with sin
Just when we'd bent the last combatant
Into sorrow
All rights wrong
We would bang that hollow gong
And every cry they made
We knew was moot

Are you writing, Johnny Yoo
Are you making an opinion
About the torture that we do
Do your organs start to die
When you are drowning in the sky
Can we break them into two
Are you with me Johnny

Might is right
We've been hiding from the light
We've been waiting for the cover
You said you'd write for me
Guantanamo Bay
Where the contractors and the CIA
Went looking for the grace
You said you'd bring to us
Cheney lies
You can see it in his eyes
Hear the background, all the cries
When I call you

Are you writing, Johnny Yoo
Are you making an opinion
About the torture that we do
Do your organs start to die
When you are drowning in the sky
Can we break them into two
Are you with me Johnny
Can you hear me Johnny
Are you with me Johnny
(repeat to fade)

Have you done all you can do?
Are you with me, doctor?

Ha, ha, ha! Or maybe I should just cry.
Spot on! I could practically hear Donald Fagen in my head. Weird Al's got nothing on you!
