What
A Wonderful World
(Bush Inaugural Theme Song)
to the tune "What a Wonderful World"
Music: Sam
Cooke Words: Joel Landy
Don't
know much about history.
Don't
know much foreign policy.
I
don’t know the names of men I kill,
Or
implications of the seats I fill.
But I do
know who has paid my way.
For
corporate interests and the NRA
What a
wonderful world this will be.
Don’t
know much about ecology.
Cutting
trees has always worked for me.
And I
don’t know about the women’s vote,
And I
can’t think of any bill I wrote.
But
there's one thing that I know for sure,
If the
rich stay rich and the poor stay poor
What a
wonderful world this will be.
I never
claimed to be an " A" student, but I don’t have to be.
If you
have deep pockets and sell nuclear rockets
You’re
a friend of my family.
Don't
know much about air pollution.
Don't
know much about the Constitution.
Don’t
care much for solar energy.
There’s
nothing in it for my friends and me.
And if
we can’t find any on our soil
We can
go to war and get more oil, and
What a
wonderful world this will be.
Don’t
know much about the driving rules.
Don’t
know much about the public schools.
Don’t
know why the inner cities fail
Why
can’t folks get dad to pay for Yale?
And if
the issues that will make you lose
Are
never covered in the evening news,
What a
wonderful world this will be.
I never
claimed to be an A student, but I don’t have to be.
If you
have a brother who’s the Florida Governor,
The result’s no mystery.
Don't
know much about history.
Don't
know much foreign policy.
Don’t
know much about the national debt.
I never
had to pay one off yet.
But I do
know who has paid my way.
For
special interests in the USA
What a wonderful world this will
be.
