"I'm-not-accountable"

Don't mess with an "I'm-not-accountable"
The buck won't ever stop there.
That war in Iraq "was not a pay back,"
   and not even something he "wanted."
"Not invented here." "It was Cheney's idea."
   "He's the one should be haunted and taunted."
When it needs alibying, they're real good at denying.
Don't mess with an "I'm-not-accountable".

Don't mess with an "I'm-not-accountable"
The buck won't ever stop there.
A chip off the old block, can't you see it's a crock
   that he'd ever do something nefarious?
For both are proponents of attacks on opponents
   that can best be described as vicarious.
When it needs alibying, they're real good at denying.
Don't mess with an "I'm-not-accountable".

Don't mess with an "I'm-not-accountable"
The buck won't ever stop there.
Of course he soft pedals campaigns against medals,
   a wimp without one of his own,
Who can't be seen backing the ones who're attacking,
   nor even admit he'd condone.
When it needs alibying, they're real good at denying.
Don't mess with an "I'm-not-accountable".

Don't mess with an "I'm-not-accountable"
The buck won't ever stop there.
Attacks on Dukakis. Attacks on McCain.
Attacks on John Kerry. But what seems germane
Are the deceitful genes that won't let them fess up
To the part they have played each time that they mess up.
When it needs alibying, they're real good at denying.
Don't mess with an "I'm-not-accountable".
