History Lesson

HISTORY LESSON I. Sweet Joe McCarthy who will fill your shoes Keeping down the reds and making them sing the blues Your spirit lives on in these modern days Teaching us to hate in many different ways. II. Poor Lee Harvey Oswald I see you sitting there Living your life with out a simple care Sitting quietly behind the grassy knoll Waiting for the right moment to lie to us all. III. Wise ole’ Ronald Reagan you taught me one thing That life simply has no meaning By simply doing a good deed When you can be driven by greed. IV. Honest George W. Bush you are not the only one to blame For making the youth pawns in your sick game Spilling blood on foreign soil Only to bring back opiates and oil.
