Blighted By The Right
(Sung to the tune of "Blinded By The Light" by Manfred Mann)
Guest song parody by Melhi

(instrumental intro)

Blighted by the right
Distorting the truth
Another rumor roars to life
Lyin' from the right
Fed up with their goofs
And with the dunder-headed right
Blighted by the right
Their king's just a tool
Another puppet of the right

Mad with power,
Cowards hungerin' to devour,
Put the teenaged force to task

And the strong weren't so calm,
When they were bailin' out on 'Nam,
But they don't mention that

Ever bolder, with our soldiers,
Speilin' ala Coulter,
They tripped when nothing was found

When it's scary, the V.P. is
Seizin' and wheezin',
So, he has to be stashed underground
Oh, he has to be stashed underground

Our pride is
Blighted by the right,
Distorting the truth
Another rumor roars to life
Lyin' from the right,
Pepped up, on the juice,
Oh the dissemblers on the right
Blighted by the right,
The crown on the fool,
A puppet jestor leads the right
Scion of the right,
Fed up with their goofs
And all the blunders of the right

A simpleton sniffer
With his tongue in a twister
Tells us the left's on the take

He says, "I'll show you the money"
But now it's gone
Played us all with his phony breaks

Now Old Fart Wal-mart
Is passing out the shopping carts
He's living on a bench outside

And at the pearlies early
There's a little girly, surely.
They axed her from the budget, tonight
Axed her from the budget, tonight

And we were
Lied to by the right,
Distorting the truth
And cutting programs left 'n right
Blighted by the right

Beat us down, but we wouldn't expire
We can reclaim it from the right
We will reclaim it from the right

(long instrumental break)

Osama arranged the bombings
Osama, that's who we wanted
'Sama's still in hiding,
We should look until the ends of the earth
Osama should feel our vengeance!

The "new tone" cable drones
Numbers growing, stoneless clones
Anchors on the lee

Say "Old thrones were overblown
And lefties own the microphones"
Lulling the nation to sleep

And the chew-bone we should own
Is dancing on our borders
Walking a free man's path

On our home grown tomb stones
The message was, "He will atone"
November we get our chance

This calamity ran us aground
{Starred chorus lines are repeated behind the subsequent verses)
Our freedoms
Blighted by the right,
Distorting the truth,
Our coffers plundered by the right
Blighted by the right,
Our vengeance refused,
We're torn asunder by the right
*Blighted by the right,
*Supporting the troops,
*By cutting funding is a smite

Glad hand pumpin', stumpin',
Minions up to somethin',
Hidden daggers pat their backs.

Got his ops with their props
Put their fam'lies on the block
He didn't mention that.

Well, his sharp tongued, big gun,
Senators in Washington
Stripped their benefits down

And with nary a reason,
Squeezin' and sleezin',
Their hatcheting splattered the crown

On spot, with the crack shots
Stationed in a tender spot
Hold the future in their hands

But, this hotshot, beseech-me-not,
Whose daddy's calling all the shots
Had them cut off. Some kinda thanks

That simpleton sniffer
With his tongue in a twister
Snowed us. We've got what it takes

We say "We'll throw you out, sonny
we're millions strong"

(end backing chorus)

Beat us down, but we wouldn't expire
We're gonna save it from the right.
