Weapons of mass destruction?
   They're right here at home.
Dangerous chemicals unsecured
   could be Bush's Teapot Dome.

Campaign donations paid off Bush
   and eight key GOP
Senators who crushed the bill
   protecting you and me.

Tom Ridge played the ostrich
   by using his eraser
And counted fewer sites at risk
   as if that makes us safer.

One hundred twenty-three that could
   hurt more than a million.
But Tom Ridge only knows of two
   he'd classify vermillion.

Pray that one's near Crawford, Texas;
   the other where Ridge is.
Then if terrorists get us,
   we'll know that he got his.
