New Bush Theme Song - I'm The Decider

Last week was another milestone in the term of our Court-Appointed President, when he, with great authority and gusto declared that “I hear the voices, and I read the front page, and I know the speculation. But I'm the decider, and I decide what is best

Such a boast wouldn’t be complete without a theme song to it and, The Garlic is more than happy to supply one.

Now, everybody sing along, to the tune of The Beatles “Paperback Writer

I’m The Decider

Dear Sir or Madam, will you take my word?

It took me 4.5 years to write, to get it nice and blurred

Based on a group from the PNAC

It’s my job, because I’m the decider


It’s the dirty war of a dirty man

And clinging to a war we don’t really understand

But it’s a steady war, because I’m the decider

I’m the decider


It’s a thousand points of light, give or take a few

I’ll be writing more, over the next year or two

I can make them harsher, because, well, that’s my style

But I won’t change it round, because I’m the decider

I’m the decider


If I really want, I can take all your rights

I can make you an enemy combatant overnight

And if the generals complain, we’ll defend our war

And I won’t break, because I’m the decider

I’m the decider

I’m the decider

I’m the decider
