Friday Night Lyrics: Time Edition
So, Time Magazine has chosen it's Man of the Year and, somehow and someway, it must've been one motherfuck of an uneventful year; because they chose World President George W. Bush for, and I'm paraphrasing here, being an asshole.
No, seriously.
Here's a quote directly from Time, with the asshole portions in bold:
I WAS going to post a nice little Christmas carol or something festive, but I suppose that can wait until next Friday. I've been saving this one up for just the right occasion, and this is as good a time as any. I give to you, fellow ne'er-do-wells, the National Anthem of Bush Administration Inc.

So, Time Magazine has chosen it's Man of the Year and, somehow and someway, it must've been one motherfuck of an uneventful year; because they chose World President George W. Bush for, and I'm paraphrasing here, being an asshole.
No, seriously.
Here's a quote directly from Time, with the asshole portions in bold:
"U.S. President George W. Bush's bold, uncompromising leadership and his clear-cut election victory made him Time magazine's Person of the Year for 2004, its managing editor said Sunday.
Time chose Bush "for sticking to his guns (literally and figuratively), for reshaping the rules of politics to fit his 10-gallon-hat leadership style and for persuading a majority of voters this time around that he deserved to be in the White House for another four years," Jim Kelly wrote in the magazine."
I WAS going to post a nice little Christmas carol or something festive, but I suppose that can wait until next Friday. I've been saving this one up for just the right occasion, and this is as good a time as any. I give to you, fellow ne'er-do-wells, the National Anthem of Bush Administration Inc.
you think you're going to live your life alone
in darkness and seclusion... yeah, I know
you've been out there and tried to mix with those animals
and it just left you full of humiliated confusion
so you stagger back home and wait for nothing
but the solitary refinement of your
room spits you back onto the streets
and now you're desperate and in need of human contact
and then you meet me and yur whole world changes
because everything I say is everything you've ever wanted to hear
so you drop all you defenses, I'm perfect in every way
'cause I make you feel so strong and so powerfull inside
you feel so lucky
but your ego obscures reality that you never bothered to
wonder why things are going so well
you want to know why?
'cause I'm a liar, yeah, I'm a liar
I'll tear (rip) your mind up, I'll burn your soul
I'll turn you into me, I'll turn you into me
'cause I'm a liar, a liar, a liar, a liar...
I'll hide behind a smile and understanding eyes
and I'll tell you things that you already know so you can say:
I really identify with you, so much
and all the time that you're needing me is just the time
that I'm bleeding you, don't you get it yet?
I'll come to you like an affliction
then I'll leave you like an addiction
you'll never forget me... wou wanna know why?
'cause I'm a liar, yeah, I'm a liar
I'll tear (rip) your mind up, I'll burn your soul
I'll turn you into me, I'll turn you into me
'cause I'm a liar, a liar, a liar, a liar...
I don't know why I feel the need to lie and cause you so much pain
maybe it's something inside, maybe it's something I can't explain
'cause all I do is mess you up and lie to you
I'm a liar, ooh, I'm a liar
but if you'll give me another chance
I swear I'll never lie to you again
'cause now I see the destructive power of a lie,
they're stronger than truth
I ca't believe I ever hurt you, I swear I will never lie to you again
please, just give me more chance, I'll never lie to you again, no,
I swear, I will never tell a lie, I will neer tell a lie, no, no
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! Sucker! Sucker! Sucker!
I am a liar, yeah, I am a liar, yeah, I am a liar
I lie you, I feel good, I am a liar, yeah
I lie, I lie, I lie, I lie
ooh, I lie, yeah, I lie
I'm a liar, I lie, I like it, I feel good, I like it, and again
I like it again and I'll keep lying, I'll promise
in darkness and seclusion... yeah, I know
you've been out there and tried to mix with those animals
and it just left you full of humiliated confusion
so you stagger back home and wait for nothing
but the solitary refinement of your
room spits you back onto the streets
and now you're desperate and in need of human contact
