Everybody liked him, he had a lot of friends 
Loved sports growing up out in Western Texas 
Felt pressure from the bar set high by his dad 
The more his dad pushed, the more he rebelled 
Struggled academically, but turned it around 
Even made it through Yale, and later Harvard 
Pilot for the Texas Air National Guard 
Made riches with the Rangers, drilling oil, went far 
Alcohol battles, turned to his religion 
Struggled with public speaking, had some Bushisms 
Pushed reforms as governor of Texas 
Success there later helped become President 

He was an average good guy 
Who rocked the boat in his Presidency 

Okay he was President, but barely beat Gore 
The Court stopped the recount in Florida 
Compassionate conservative, No Child Left Behind 
Many say this broke the tenth amendment 

But then 9/11 happened, and everything changed 

Well Bush changed many things drastically 
Formed the Department of Homeland Security 
The people were scared of Al Qaeda and more 
They demanded the government just do more 
So Bush did more, signed the Patriot Act 
Said the government could spy and wiretap 
Signed the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act 
Decided to preemptively strike Iraq 
Invaded Afghanistan and they’re still there 
Detained with no trial, tortured many suspects 
Half the Bill of Rights abused and ignored 
in the name of security, protect the borders! 

He was an average good guy 
Who rocked the boat in his Presidency 

George W. Bush 
Dubya W. Bush

No weapons of mass destruction found 
Hundreds of thousands dead in Iraq 
Began the never-ending War of Terror 
Or as they call it the War on Terrorism 
But will this war, will it ever end? 
Yes it will but terrorism will not 

Popularity soared after 9/11 
And in 2004, he was re-elected 
But the wars dragged on and people were dying 
The money was gone, debt and deficit rising 
Housing bubble burst and everything with it 
Everybody affected by The Great Recession 
Bush and friends bailed out the big banks, 
big corporations, and even citizens 
Foreign policy questioned around the world 
A shoe thrown at his head, heck it was hurled 
Now things didn’t go as well as he planned 
But he changed the world forever, this is where it stands
