...and then, from out of a sea of dry ice and fancy lights, da Bear emerges with the band. "This is our generation, this is our time, whatcha gonna do about it motherf---ers? Are you ready to rock?" The crowd goes mad as the band launches into the loudest, dirtiest most raucous version of 'Fortunate Son' the earth has ever heard.
Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
Ooh, they're red, white and blue.
And when the band plays hail to the chief,
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, lord,
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son.
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no,
Yeah!
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,
Lord, don't they help themselves, oh.
But when the taxman comes to the door,
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes,
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no.
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no.
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes,
Ooh, they send you down to war, lord,
And when you ask them, how much should we give?
Ooh, they only answer more! more! more! yoh,
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no military son, son.
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, one.
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no no no,
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate son, no no no,
After the show, the fans ignore the souvenirs and head straight for the whitehouse. Dubya is dragged from his bed and forced to learn Arabic, and, a la Noriega, suffers hours of torture listening to Rai music.
"When will it stop?" he pleads.
"When you can translate it, moron."
Bush summons up his crusader resolve, and listens. Suddenly, the words start to make sense. "Hey, these are Ay-rabs, singing about sex and drinking, and terrorism isn't mentioned at all."
His thoughts turn to his daughters. "Maybe we aren't all that different. What have I done?"
Da Bear, lurking in the background, nods approvingly at a very good gig indeed.
