The American people are safer,
A message Rove says bears repeating.
The American people are safer.
So why do most feel safer's fleeting?
Say, Saddam's replacement is another misplacement
And, like Cheney, hangs out in a basement?
The American people are safer
Is a slogan that some might resent.

The American people are safer.
Safer than what? some have asked.
The American people are safer
Than a CIA boss who's unmasked –
Like George Tenet buying Chalabi's lying,
And always complying instead of defying.
The American people are safer
'Cause I was in Florida flying.

The American people are safer.
Saddam is no longer top cat.
The American people are safer.
So what should they make of all that?
Well, after November, Ashcroft will remember
Ev'ry Al Franken member who tried to dismember
The American-People-Are-Safer
Statues Rove has put up of me.
