Christmas Carols for the Concerned

In the finest tradition of taking a well known tune and using it for satire, I found this at Daily Kos (link above), posted by: dsquared.

It's sung to the tune of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"

GOD DAMN YE FELL REPUBLICANS

God damn ye fell Republicans

Ye ne'er fail to dismay,

By saying Christ our Saviour

Thinks what you do's okay.

You've been seduced by your own power

And wandered far astray,

O lying, and violence, and dough,

Violence and dough,

O lying, and violence, and dough.

In old Mesopotamia

A hateful war took form,

We trusting voters all were told

Our welcome would be warm.

2,000 dead and now we're stuck

And torture is the norm,

O lying, and violence, and dough,

Violence and dough,

O lying, and violence, and dough.

From Cheney, spawn of Satan,

The countless lies doth spew:

"Al Quaida met with Syria,

There's proof, I'm telling you.

"The pundits fawned, the Times lay down,

The right-wing thinktanks grew,

O lying, and violence, and dough,

Violence and dough,

O lying, and violence, and dough.

You avaricious criminals

Will come to dire ends,

Grand juries are convening now

For Frist, DeLay, and friends,

Sweet Justice comes with sword unsheathed

You cannot make amends

For lying, and violence, and dough,

Violence and dough,

For lying, and violence, and dough.

A great way to spice up your Christmas caroling!
