As I watched what W and his idiot friends did to the world during his administration, I would feel a total helpless rage everytime I tucked my young son into bed at night.

His generation is going to bear this. And it pisses me off.

One needs only to walk through the Holocaust Memorial in downtown Boston to see what happens when a whole country full of "normal" people get caught up in zealous nationalism and "patriotism", and blindly follow a small group of crazy persons to hell. It's good to question the government and we're blessed to live in one that doesn't punish us for it.

Sorry kid I didn't mean to wake you
I was only tryin' to tell you
I'd trade our worlds if I could

Sorry kid I never said that this would be fair
But it doesn't mean I don't care
Everything's wrong here... and on to you

But it's not you
You didn't make this mess
Just let that rest with me
I just want to say I'm so, so sorry
But it's not you
But it's yours to bear
Sorry kid, someday this will all be yours

Sorry kid: One flew over the Whitehouse wall
and we can't shake it out
I did everything I could
I won't stop now but it don't look good

Sorry kid: now we're killin' in the name of love
but don't you worry 'cause I love you
Everything's upside-down
ascending to the trees

I wish that someone would fall from the sky
and show us why we're wrong
Oh god, if you're who you say you are
how could you give them this?
He listened and only heard the wind
and as the wind blew
then hew knew
Sorry kid, I guess it's up to you

sleep little one, it's alright...
