Notes: Maybe I'm morbidly satirical this week because I just finished re-reading Orwell's 1984. The biting similarities between The Party and our current administration startle me. Question: did we really go to war with Iraq three years ago, or am I just dreaming? Maybe it's all just a Halloween hoax that'll be all wrapped up here in a week. I won't hold my breath.

The Trick or the Treat - Click Here to Listen

I took a trip to Washington
On the eve of Halloween
I dressed up as Osama Bin Laden
For Trick or Treat

I walked into the White House
I shouted out Here I am
The president said, You look familiar,
Remind me of your name again.?

Why do we all pretend not to notice?
Why don't we all see?
Have we all forgotten the difference
Between the Trick and the Treat?

I walked into the Capitol
Dressed as Kim Jong Il
The Senators all just laughed at me
Who are you supposed to be little girl?

I shouted, I got Nuclear Bombs,
And I'm crazy enough to attack!
But they just turned and walked away
To vote more money into Iraq

Bubble, Bubble, Were all in trouble
The Republican House is full of creeps
Bubble, Bubble, We?re all in trouble
Ge?em out, Getem out, Getem out before were in too deep

I walked up to the Pentagon
Dressed as a big baboon Everyone seemed to recognize me.
They said, Mr. Rumsfeld, how are you doing?
I opened up my Halloween sack

I screamed, You want a trick or a treat?
All the generals asked, What's the difference?
Why don't you ask the dead in the Baghdad streets?
