Bye, Bye, Ms. American Lie

(Sing to the tune, "American Pie)

A long, long time ago
You can still remember now
How power used to make you smile
You knew if you had your chance
That you could make the others dance
And maybe you’d be happy for awhile

But so many scandals made you shiver
With every paper that got delivered
Bad news on our doorstep
You had to watch your next step

I can’t remember if I cried
When I read about Foster’s widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day Vince Foster died
So

Bye, bye Ms. American Lie
You and Barry bailed out Chevy but the price sure was high
And them good ole boys drinking whiskey and rye
Singin’ this’ll be a day that she lies
This’ll be a day that she lies

You didn’t write the book of love
And you don’t have faith in God above
Even if the Bible tells you to
You may believe in rock and roll
Though music can’t save your mortal soul
But can you teach me how to lie real slow?

Well, I know you were in love with Vince
Funny, no one’s seen him since
Yeah, he was offed by you
Man, how you took care of the clues!

It was only you Bill wouldn’t f**k
In the Oval Office or a pickup truck
But he knew he was in luck
The day Vince Foster died
And we started singin’

Bye, bye Ms. American Lie
You and Barry bailed out Chevy but the price sure was high
And them good ole boys drinking whiskey and rye
Singin’ this’ll be a day that she lies
This’ll be a day that she lies

Now for eight years we’ve been on our own
We’ve grown lazy- and been overthrown
But that’s not how it used to be

Then the harrasser arrived upon the scene
And a blue dress was no longer clean
The stain didn’t come from you or me

Oh and though things were now looking down
The harasser stowed his horny crown
And the courtroom was adjourned
No binding verdict was returned

And while Obama read a book on Marx
Their assassins practiced in the park
The voters were kept in the dark
The day Vince Foster died
We were singin’

Bye, bye Ms. American Lie
You and Barry bailed out Chevy but the price was sure high
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
And singin’ this’ll be a day that she lies
This’ll be a day that she lies

Helter skelter in the summer swelter
Hillary’s carted off to her daughter’s shelter
Pneumonia she’s hiding fast

Everyone was high on grass
As the elitists more laws did pass
The Constitution a remnant of the past

Now liberals quarreled with Brit Hume
While Russia played a martial tune
We all were in a trance
Oh, so we never stood a chance

‘Cause China tried to take the field
Our enemies refused to yield
Our moral decay was revealed
The day Vince Foster died
We started singin’

Bye, bye Ms. American Lie
You and Barry bailed out Chevy but the price was sure high
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
And singin’ this’ll be a day that she lies
This’ll be a day that she lies

And here we are all in one place
A generation in disgrace
With no time left to start again

So come on Hill be nimble, Hill be quick
And lie to us ‘til we are sick
‘Cause lies are the devil’s truest friends

My hands were clenched in fists of rage
So many couldn’t tell
You’ve put us all through Hell

And as the moon climbed high that Benghazi night
And you refused to help them fight
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day our soldiers died
He was singin’

Bye, bye Ms. American Lie
You and Barry bailed out Chevy but the price was sure high
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin’ this’ll be a day that she lies
This’ll be a day that she lies

Bill met a girl who sang the blues
And he asked her for some happy news
But she just frowned and turned away

And I simply could take no more
 I’d heard all of this b.s. before
And no one believes it anymore today

And in the streets policemen screamed
Their lovers cried, but liberals creamed
Rebuttals were verboten
Law and order was broken

And the three men you despise the most
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
All knew that you would soon be toast
The day Vince Foster died
And they were singing

Bye, bye Ms. American Lie
You and Barry bailed out Chevy but the price was sure high
And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin’ this’ll be a day that she lies
This’ll be a day that she lies

They were singing
Bye, bye Ms. American Lie
You and Barry bailed out Chevy but the price was sure high
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin’ this’ll be a day that she lies
