Sanctitude
Being sung by Bushie to the Duke Ellington tune
"Solitude"
(In my solitude you haunt me.)

For his certitude they'll haunt me,
Those Lebanese that I let die.
For each platitude they'll taunt me,
Non-devotees of Edgar's lie.

They say we should care
With war ev'rywhere,
But can a Mortimer Snerd,
Who sits on his knee
Spouting dumb repartee,
Be expected to say Edgar erred?

With his rectitude
Edgar's saying,
"Remember, Gov,
It's we we love."
