Right
(Sung to the Harold Arlen tune
"I Gotta Right To Sing the Blues")

I gotta right to sometimes lose –
I gotta right to be a pawn –
To not know what's going on
   right along with Cheney.

A P.R. man in this damn town
Keeps pushing me around.
He thinks another war
Will help him restore

My right to blow a fuse –
My right to get real high –
Their right to deify
   me right along with Cheney.

'Twas on that white hot sand
That we misplayed our hand,
Where despite Fox TV News,
We showed the world how we could lose.
