Check this out, from everybody's favorite right-wing parody site:

I disagree. I think it's pretty obvious that the song isn't about Clinton and that it's about someone like Bush or a right-wing person. Could be wrong but that's the impression I got after reading the lyrics.

One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

I believe the magic words in the opening post was "parody site". Wink

Just for the record (yes I understand the site in the intial post is a ''joke'') this song is about people like Saddam Hussein.Its about evil.Nothing to do with George Bush/Bill Clinton or any leaders (past or present) of democratic countries.

It wasn't that funny, really. I understand it was a joke, but they could have come up with something more than just posting the lyrics and then saying they are about Bill Clinton. They should've developed it further.

Agreed, it's far from the funniest thing on the site. I just posted it because of the Muse reference.

So what? What's wrong with Right-wing? I know i am Right-wing. Annoying how now days you are called a nazi and a facist if you are a righty. Maybe the American right-wing politics suck but not here in Finland.
