Two Evils (One Greater - One Lesser)

By Mr King

George W. Bush and Saddam Hussein.../
one is stupid.../
and the other insane.../

George W. Bush and Saddam Hussein.../
one causes suffering.../
and the other pain.../

George W. Bush and Saddam Hussein.../
the lesser of two evils.../
but which is which.../

one a war criminal.../
and the other his bitch!/

one a medieval dictator.../
and the other a neo-conservative imperialist/

one gets angry.../
and the other gets pissed/

one is a liar.../
and the other is too/

one will f--k you.../
and the other will screw!/

one has weapons of mass destruction.../
and the other never did/

one lied to the American people.../
and the other hid/

one is now caught.../
and the other is free/

one is blind.../
and the other can't see/

one will take the credit.../
as the other takes the fall/

one will get nothing.../
as the other keeps trying to take it all/

one is done terrorizing.../
and the other will continue.../

Americans think themselves safer this Christmas.../
but now more than ever we are on the terrorist's menu!/
