After America Let The World Down

Jesus roams the decaying nations
In a fugue of miserable abandon
Performing magic tricks and giving advice
In the manner of St. Michael Landon

Mumbling to himself, he picks his scabs
Amidst the freewheeling anarchy
Engulfing the whole of Europe now
The third largest third world country

As for Buddha, he's just plain bored
While Mohammed blitzkriegs with his sword
Anyone resembling Harrison Ford
Across an America scorched and skored

Americans gasping in a chemical haze
Surrended after only seven days
In one of the greatest passion plays
But a mystery remains unto these days

Historical texts are minus the specific
Details unrecorded in the frenzy frantic
Of how their fighter jets crossed the Pacific
And their tanks floated over the Atlantic

Meanwhile, halfway across the globe

An old man crawls out into the blistering sun
From a cave near the border of Pakistan
Adjusting his turban, scratching his crotch
And clutching a worn out Qu'ran

He stops to chat with a ragged band
Of Christian revolutionaries marching north
The Sons and Daughters of O'Reilly
Curiously led by the George Bush the Fourth

Leeza Rice in brown kakhi looking oh so nice
Points in the direction of Mutherfukhastan
We're off to dismantle nuclear silos
And dethrone another evil wicked madman

Sir, Would you care to join us on our mission
To fight Terror and liberate the downtrodden?
And you'll be in for a treat, for we're certain to find
That elusive fox Bin Laden

Back in a nursing home in the States

Grandpa continues to curse the sky
Asking, Father, why did you forsake my family?
And we could have beat those damn Iraqis
If only we had allied with Qaddafi!

Jehova as a shimmering cloud
Spotlight beams him in the elder crowd
In a booming voice, says very loud,
Even though you were well endowed ...

Moneywise that is ...

Hoss, you're just weren't that special
