DISC ONE


1.  WE ALL LIVE IN A NAZI LOONY BIN
Based on "Yellow Submarine"
By John Lennon and Paul McCartney
New Lyrics by Brandon and Jeffrey

In the town where George was born
No one told him what he should be
And he threw away his life
Smoking weed that was so green
So he prayed unto the son
Til he found a God extreme
And he ruled as if reborn  
In a land that was not free

CHORUS:

We all live in a Nazi loony bin!
A Nazi loony bin!
A Nazi loony bin!
U.S.A. is a Nazi loony bin!
A Nazi loony bin!
A Nazi loony bin!

And his friends are all adored
Only one of them, a male whore
And the press began to sing

[Opening bars of "Deutschland Uber Alles" played on an out of tune German marching band, then directly into...]

CHORUS:

Leading directly into

[Instrumental performance of the opening verse overdubbed with excerpts from a Nuremberg Party Rally, replete with Hitler bellowing and a crowd cheering "SIEG HEIL!  SIEG HEIL!"  This to be overdubbed with the sounds of Stukas dive bombing, machine guns firing, and bombs exploding leading directly into...]   

And the times are full of sleaze
While the Neocons do as they please
And he lives a life of ease
Killing young GIs can be a breeze

CHORUS

REPEAT CHORUS AND FADE OUT


2.  WHAT WENT WRONG
Based on "What Goes On?"
By John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Richard Starkey
New Lyrics by Brandon

CHORUS
What went wrong with your heart?
What went wrong with your mind?
Shells are ripping them apart
As you tell another lie
Is that praise that you will find
What made you so unkind?

On Saturday I heard you
As you chose another course
But when  listen to you
I can hear the same old source
It's too easy for for Herr Rove to spew a lie
No surprise

CHORUS

I see you on the TV
As you lie before the press
But now the tide is turning
And you're such a royal mess
It's too easy for the G.O.P. to lie
No surprise

What goes on in your heart

I see you put the party first
The country, oh it fell
You didn't even think it
When the soldiers went to hell
Did you mean to praise yourself while soldiers die
No surprise

CHORUS


3.  ISN'T IT GREAT?
Based on "Norwegian Wood"
By John Lennon and Paul McCartney
New Lyrics by Daniel  

I just found a God
Or should I say
Jesus found me
He taught me to prey
It's not too late
Isn't it great?

He told me to preach and he told me to bitch ev'ry where
I use the Good Book and it told me to hate but not share

Now I disdain blacks
Mexicans too
No love for Jews
And I spit on fags
Never ask why
Just let 'em die

Yes Jesus has changed me, The Lord God has shown me his work'
My friends have all left me they think I've become such a jerk.  
What else can I do?
All things will pass
Kissing God's ass
So, I prey all day
Seething in hate
Isn't it great?


4.  ACT LIKE A MAN
Based on "Run For Your Life"
By John Lennon and Paul McCartney
New Lyrics by  Brandon

Well you're nothing but a brat little George
You're a punk with a pompous gait
You're an attitude on feet little George
With a heart that's filled with hate

CHORUS:
You better act like a man if you can little George
Tell the truth maybe once little George
When yah gonna get a spine
You're a coward, little George

Well you prove that you're a wicked guy
You were born with an evil mind
You let the servant in your life
Take the blame for all your crimes

CHORUS

Never learn a lesson
Never shame for what's been done
George you're psycho and a sadist
Perversion had a run

CHORUS

No you haven't got a spine to lead
You're a wimp like your dear old dad
You brag and boast you let others bleed
And the people, they were had

CHORUS

Oh no no no
No no no
No no no
(REPEATING AND FADING)

  
5.  HATE, FEAR, AND BE AWARE
Based on  "Here, There, and Everywhere"
By John Lennon and Paul McCartney
New Lyrics by Jeffrey and Brandon

To lead a greater Reich, I need to wallow in lies

Hate.  Bigotry should make us great
Mongering rage with a wave of my hand
Nobody can
Tell me that I shouldn't hate

Fear.  New Paranoia this year
Telling the people how scared they should be
I am still speaking, but nobody knows its fear

I tell them be aware
If they spread the word I know that I should never care
But to use them is to keep them unaware
Knowing that lies will be shared
Each one deceiving as truth ever dies
Look in their eyes, and tell them "yes, be aware."

I want them unaware
If they knew the truth I know that I would never dare
But to use them is to show them that I don't care
Knowing that truth is not shared
Suckers believing new lie after lie
Look in their eyes and tell them, "yes ,be aware"

I will hate there
Fear everywhere
Hate, fear, and be aware


6.  I'M WADING THROUGH YOU
Based on "I'm Looking Through You"
By John Lennon and Paul McCartney
New Lyrics by Brandon

I'm wading through you.  What do I see
More right wing fussing, hyperbole
Ain't nothing different you never change
I'm wading through you, you're still deranged

Coulter is bitching.  I turn her off
Her mood is whiny.  I've had enough
Limbaugh is lying. What else is new?
I'm wading through you, the same old crew

Why, tell me why are you so damned uncouth
FOX would make Goebbels proud and Bill O'Reilly can't tell the truth

So Sean is griping.  What can he do?
The words are flowing.  The facts are few
The entertainment is always there
I'm wading through you, and you don't care

Why tell me why will you not give me news
Oh cash is the bottom line and what you spew gives me the blues

I'm wading through you; the facts are lite
I thought I knew you and I was right
Your propaganda will never change
I'm wading through you; you're still deranged

  
  
7.  JESUS
Based on "Michelle"
By John Lennon and Paul McCartney
New Lyrics by Daniel

Jesus, My Lord
These are words that strike a right wing chord
Oh, My Lord

Jesus, My Lord
Guide me, tell me, when you want discord
Jesus, My Lord

I praise you, I praise you, I praise you
I never need to think
I push it to the brink and pray what you comprehend
Ah the rapture and the end.

Jesus, My Lord
Guide me, tell me, when you want discord
Jesus, My Lord

I heed you, I heed you, I heed you
Please tell me who to hate
I know that you are great
I need you so I am hoping you will come back soon
I praise you

Obey you, obey you, obey you!
You give me such a chill
I want to do your will
Until I do I ass kiss you so you'll comprehend

Jesus, My Lord
Guide me, tell me, when you want discord
Jesus My Lord
  
So I pray the only words I know that you comprehend
Hateful Lord.  
  
  
8.  WHAT WOULD JESUS THINK?
based on "And Your Bird Can Sing"
By John Lennon and Paul McCartney
New Lyrics by Brian

You tell me that you're Christian, but I wonder
What would Jesus think?
No you don't fool me, you don't fool me

You tell me that you pray and you're close to God
What would Jesus think?
No you don't fool me, you don't fool me

When your word is broken and you lose your crown
You will pray for mercy.  Is it found?  Is it found?

When you need to murder and you seem unsound
Take a look for Jesus. He's around.  He's around

You tell me (that) you love God and you do his will
What would Jesus think?
No you don't fool me. You don't fool me.  
  
  
9.  CAN'T YOU WORK IT OUT?
Based on "We Can Work It Out"
by John Lennon and Paul McCartney
New Lyrics by Brandon and Jeffrey

Try to get it right George
Two times three are six not a hundred-twenty-three
Try to get it right, George
It isn't crazy glue it's the Law of Gravity

Can't you work it out?
Can't you work it out?

Think of what you're thinking
Yes we evolved we did not come from Adam and Eve
Think of what you're thinking
Go and read the science not the myth you must believe

Can't you work it out?
Can't you work it out?

Facts are very hard and there's no sense
in all your denial my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
to waste a mind, my stupid friend.

Read another book, George
It's a globe of rock not an orb of lunar cheese
Read another Book George
The words are lengthy but will they bring you to your knees?

Can't you work it out?
Can't you work it out?

Facts are very hard and there's no sense
in all your denial my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
to waste a mind, my stupid friend

Try to get it right George
We're on a turning sphere not a piece of pizza pie
Try to get it right George
We orbit around the sun don't you ever wonder why ?

Can't your work it out?
Can't you work it out?


10.  START A WAR
Based on "Drive My Car"
by John Lennon and Paul McCartney
New Lyrics by Jeffrey

Exxon told him here's what you can do
They said the fool is you
You better start jumpin' yah son of a bitch  
You can do something to make us rich

CHORUS
Sucker, you can start a war
Yes, we're gonna ask for more
Sucker you can start a war
And maybe we'll screw you!
  
Told the soldiers that our prospects were good  
They said "Georgie, we'll do what we should
Killing for Rummy is all good and fine
But we sure wish that you'd tell us why."

CHORUS

CHORUS

He told the boys they would never be foiled  
And they said "let's do it if won't be for oil."
He got his war but he hasn't a heart
Petroleum profits and that was smart

CHORUS

Boom Boom Boom Boom Yeah
Boom Boom Boom Boom Yeah  
[Repeating and fading] 


11.  WARFARE MAN
Based on "Nowhere Man"
By John Lennon and Paul McCartney
New Lyrics by Danny and Brandon

He's a bloody warfare man
Scheming ins his warfare land
Planning all his warfare plans for you and me  

He's as mad as he can be
Twisting up reality
Warfare man are you feeling at all?

Warfare man, you're dissin'
Warfare man, quit pissin'
The world, it was never at your command

He's a raving psychopath  
Led us down a twisted path
Isn't he what we don't want to be

Warfare man, we're worried
'Cause your mind seems blurry
Leave it it all 'til someone sane relieves your command

Has a crazy point of view  
Murders but he's never through
Isn't he what we don't want to be?

Warfare man won't listen
We all know what he's missing
The world, it was never at his command

He's a real warfare man
Scheming in his warfare land  
Planning all his warfare plans for ev'ryone
Planning all his warfare plans for ev'ryone
Planning all his warfare plans for ev'ryone


12.  PRAISE TO YOU
Based on "Love to You"
by George Harrison
New Lyrics by Brian

You promised so much more
Beyond the warfare lore
You're a threat to life and lib-er-ty
  
Tell tales while you can
You're not a real man

The truth is never sought
King George when were you bought?
And what you've done is evil certainly

You see the Rummy's frown
Dick Cheney wears your crown
They fill your head with what you want to be

They sing praise to you
They tell what to do

  
13.  UNCLE ALBERT
Based on "Doctor Robert"
By John Lennon and Paul McCartney
New lyrics by Daniel

You like pain I guess you call Uncle Albert
Whips and chains he'll be there if there's pain at all Uncle Albert
Uncle Albert.  He's a sick and bitter man
Agony he understands
He does everything by plan, Uncle Albert

If you're up he'll kick you down, Uncle Albert
He'll shock your balls and he'll soak your head, Uncle Albert
Uncle Albert. He's a fiend who will deceive
Bleeding everyone he sees
We all need relief from Uncle Albert

CHORUS:
My my my Geneva is quaint
My my me he renders...Uncle Albert

Yes he works for a falling Reich, Uncle Albert  
He strips 'em down to watch 'em masturbate (it's) Uncle Albert
Uncle Albert.  He's a crazy kindah freak
Piercing screams don't make him weak
He's a sadist and a creep, Uncle Albert

CHORUS

REPEAT FIRST VERSE,  FADING.


14.  HEY THERE GITMO
Based on "Good Day Sunshine."
By John Lennon and Paul McCartney
New Lyrics by Daniel and Jeffrey

Hey there Gitmo!
Hey there Gitmo!
Hey there Gitmo!

You made me laugh
And when the lights are out
I got someone I can thrash about
It feels good
In a gruesome way
I'm a thug but not to John McCain

Hey there Gitmo!
Hey there Gitmo!
Hey there Gitmo

I take a stick
And the I beat them down
I get high as they hit the ground

The time is right
I got them in a cell
I get off when I'm raising hell
I'm feeling good
In a kinky way
I'm fucked up and it's another day

Good day Gitmo!
Good day Gitmo!
Good day Gitmo
(REPEATING AND FADING)

15.  PSYCHOPATH LEADER
Based on "Paperback Waiter"
By John Lennon and Paul McCartney
New Lyrics by Brandon

Psychopath leader (leader, leader)
Dear friends and neighbors will you take the time
To condemn the leader for his bloody crime
How he loves to hate, how he hates to love
How he mocks the Lord, so he's gonna be a psychopath leader
Psychopath leader!

It's a creepy story of a crazy man
And his thirst for blood that will never end
How he spread the war, how he spread the fear
It's a heinous job, but he's gonna be a psychopath leader
Psychopath leader!

With too many dead and it's all too few
He'll be killing more in a day or two
He may torture first, 'cause it's been the style
Pain is like a fix, and he's gonna be a psychopath leader
Psychopath leader!

If he gets the urges, he will kill us all
And he says I'm Holy" as the bodies fall
He will cut more taxes when the soldiers die
He will celebrate and he's gonna be a psychopath leader
Psychopath leader
Psychopath leader
[REPEATING AND FADING


16.  THE TURD, ROVE
Based on "The Word"
By John Lennon and Paul McCartney
New Lyrics by Daniel

Speak a lie and be like me
Let my power set you free
hear the story that I wove
Gave you heard the spinner Rove?
I'm so fine!  It's all mine!
I'm the turd, Rove
In the beginning you misunderstood
I run the show and I drain all the good
(I'm The Turd, Rove!)

Spread the lie, and be like me
Take your rights to make you free
Hear the hate that I have wove
Have you heard the spinner Rove
I'm so great, it's too late
I'm The Turd, Rove
When I go out  I hear people say
He baits the homos but his step dad was gay
(I'm The Turd, Rove)

Hear me speak and feel my might
Click your heels for my (little) Reich
I will pray to God up above
Although God is me, Karl  Rove
I'm unfair. I don't care
I'm The Turd Rove
But if you think what I say is a lie
I'll make sure all the dissidents cry
(I'm The Turd, Rove)

Give the world a chance to see
That The Shrub is under me
It's the world I'm dreaming of
You down there, me up above
I defile!  A Sieg Heil

For The Turd, Rove
I'm The Turd, Rove
I'm The Turd, Rove
I'm The Turd, Rove
