The Day the Neocons Died (sung to the tune of “American Pie”)

Just a short while ago,
we were ruled by such a heavy hand,
the prez claimed things reserved but to ancient kings,
It brought on us such a strain,
When he took the power to detain,
Citizens forever, a naked tyrant’s claim.
Our lives were most fully owned,
by a ruling class who must atone,
For claiming absolute power,
But Rand Paul didn’t cower,
Challenge he did with a simple tone,
to stop the threat of hellfire drones,
That filibuster struck so deep inside,
The day the neocons died.

So bye, bye, American Empire,
Take your tasers and your lasers and shove it inside,
Your hellfire missiles, and your media lies,
Singin’ this day the neocons died,
This day the neocons died.

Did you read that book of reason,
from that Remington Rand, some thought as treason,
To never aggress except in defense,
Did your human action make the scene,
you’re free to choose the American dream,
as we forge a new liberty.
It now has become quite crystal clear,
The rummies of neocon wars and fear,
And wolves of which trade on terror plots
Are extinct now, oh, those sorry lots.
We were glued to the Cspan II viewing screen,
As Rand took the stand with a liberty theme,
The filibuster struck so deep inside,
The day the neocons died.

Singin’ bye, bye, American Empire,
Take your tasers and your lasers and shove it inside,
Your hellfire missiles, and your media lies,
Singin’, this day the neocons died,
This day the neocons died.

Now Lindsey and John, with their tantrum rants,
join the Rupert lackeys and his sycophants,
With dying gasps as their cries just fade away,
Meanwhile, the burgeoning source of news,
From the twitterverse and the Facebook tools,
the world wide web heralds in a liberty tune,
But usurpers and co-optors lurk in the wings,
Ready to redirect the liberty strain,
Beware these rubes without substance,
For the price is eternal vigilance.
Pundits changed their hats so super quick,
Rush not to the hand it is super slick,
The filibuster struck so deep inside,
The day the neocons died.

Singin’ bye, bye, American Empire,
Take your tasers and your lasers and shove it inside,
Your hellfire missiles, and your media lies,
Singin’, this day the neocons died,
This day the neocons died.
