"Where Were You? (Not the Alan Jackson Song)"
Music by Alan Jackson © 2001
Lyrics by James Landau © 2019
Where were you when the stores were closing on that September day?
Were you in the bedroom with your boy- or girlfriend
Or shopping for some black lingerie?
Did you blame Hollywood and LGBT folks
Feminists and Norman Lear?
Did you relive old traumas?
Call someone "Osama"?
Or drink your troubles down with a beer?
Want to close all our borders? Try Executive Order
9066 with brown folks
Kind of like FDR did? Call flag-burners "retarded"?
Call the tower collapsing a hoax?
Join the GOP club
As a partisan hack?
Make the case for Shrub
Moving on to Iraq?
Look at cop-bashing teens, say "You better respect 'em"?
Stick a flagpole's sharp end . . . up a protestor's rectum?
Did you get on the Bush bandwagon, show
Support for that illiterate man?
Man, he sure hates France, but I'm not sure he could tell you
The difference between France and Japan
GOP soars for Jesus, claim God's on their side
Militarism unites the Repubs
Lies, hate, and fear many presidents gave us
And the worst one was Shrub
Where were you when the schools were closing on that September day?
Having decadent meals at The Cheesecake Factory
Or whingeing about "moral decay"?
Say terror's the only issue that matters?
Change your party registration at once?
Did your conscience now trouble ya that you once bashed Dublya?
Did you vow to "get behind" that dunce?
When your teacher said your kid wouldn't stand for the pledge
Did you ground your kid an entire week?
Did you beat up the first Arab-looking person you saw
Then find out he was actually Sikh?
Did you want to speak out about blind jingoism
But then think it best to keep mum?
Self-righteously pronounce that you're either with the Bushies
Or else you're with terrorist scum?
Did you give pollsters a thumbs-up on holsters
Speaking praise of carry-conceal?
Did you put your faith in ol' Donald Rumsfeld
Not realize he's a slick, slimy eel?
Did you get on the Bush bandwagon, show
Support for that illiterate man?
Man, he sure hates France, but I'm not sure he could tell you
The difference between France and Japan
GOP soars for Jesus, claim God's on their side
Militarism unites the Repubs
Lies, hate, and fear many presidents gave us
And the worst one was Shrub
Did you get on the Bush bandwagon, show
Support for that illiterate man?
Man, he sure hates France, but I'm not sure he could tell you
The difference between France and Japan
GOP soars for Jesus, claim God's on their side
Militarism unites the Repubs
Lies, hate, and fear many presidents gave us
And the worst one was Shrub
And the worst one was Shrub
And the worst one was Shrub
Where were you when with the airports closing on that September day?
