American Lie Sung to "American Pie" A long, long time ago People still remember how I snuck out to avoid the war But I knew if I had my way That I'd be President one day And maybe they would bother me no more Republicans they made me shivver With filibusters they'd deliver Gridlock in the White House She wears the pants in my house I guess I told a big, fat lie When I said that I'd be on your side Don't go choking up inside 'Cause hey, you knew I'd lie So why, why are you shocked that I'd lie Spent an hour with a Flower but I wouldn't say why And now my wife has got her hand in the pie, but I Guess you should have known that I'd lie Guess you should have known that I'd lie Did you think you'd get away With a small tax cut, well let me say That's not how it's gonna be And did you believe that I'd be true Well baby, that's a shame on you, and Now we'll see what kinda harm I'll do Well I know I said I'd do my best, but you Knew I'd lie like all the rest By now you ought to know You should have voted for Ross Perot And now it's time for me to tax your buck It'll hit you all just like a pick-up truck I hope you know you're out of luck But hey, you knew I'd lie We were singin' Why are you shocked that I'd lie Spent an hour with a Flower but I wouldn't say why And now my wife has got her hand in the pie, but I Guess you should have known that I'd lie Guess you should have known that I'd lie Now for 12 years it's been hell you say But just wait, wait'll I get my way, 'cause My goal is to tax and spend First I'll tax the booze, then the gasoline You'll be taxed until your wallet's clean And I'll say, it'll be fine in the end Oh, and while the Compound's burning down My top advisors can't be found I guess I'm outta luck I'll have to pass the buck And while the Serbs ignore the threats I send The Press Corps ask me to defend My policies which will offend But hey, you knew I'd lie And then Congress was in their place Determination on their face With no time left to compromise So come on, Bob be prudent, Bob be true Bob Dole, please let my bill go through, 'cause No one likes a President who lies And as the opposition grew My days as President were through No way that it would be The Congress saw through me Yet as the vote ran into the night I knew that my victory was sleight, so I Started laughing with delight 'Cause hey, you knew I'd lie We were singin' Why are you shocked that I'd lie Spent an hour with a Flower but I wouldn't say why And now my wife has got her hand in the pie, but I Guess you should have known that I'd lie Guess you should have known that I'd lie I met a girl who I called Jen She thought she was my special friend But she was used and thrown away I went down to the Viet wall Where I read the names of those who'd fall But the vet's there turned their backs and looked away While in the wings my wife, she schemes The Congress lies and the critic's scream My promises were broken Rush Limbaugh wasn't joking And the three whom I believed were good From Lani, Zoe, even Kimba Wood They took the fall like fall guys should But hey, you knew I'd lie We were singin' Why are you shocked that I'd lie Spent an hour with a Flower but I wouldn't say why And now my wife has got her hand in the pie, but I Guess you should have known that I'd lie Guess you should have known that I'd lie We were singin' Why are you shocked that I'd lie Spent an hour with a Flower but I wouldn't say why And now my wife has got her hand in the pie, but I Guess you should have known that I'd lie Guess you should have known that I'd lie
