Name Your Campaign Song:
If you were running for office, what would you pick for your campaign theme song?

Mine is when I am running President: a reworded "The Best" by Tina Turner. And when the rivals started bitching and moaning about me being so egotistical, I would merely say "I think America is the best and so deserves the best."

Your turn!

1. funny that you should ask that...
because I was thinking about it the other day. I think one of Bon Jovi's songs "The Distance" would be great...

2. Born to Run
It's a pun, since I'd be running for office, as well as a kick-ass tune to fire up the crowd.

5. The Myth Is Real...Let's Eat.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5482676010033805272

In San Francisco you can be mayor at 18
But ya gotta be 26 to drive a cab

What goes on
Is not what we're told to see

Patrick Henry said "Give me liberty or death"
At the time he owned 65 slaves

The myth is real - Let's eat

Fake patriots say you can't burn the flag
But guess who whines the most
'bout having to pay taxes
To their country
Decay
Decline
Cover up
Refine
Dow Jones
Where's home
When everything we lean on
Is up for sale

Ad lady purrs, "Drink our liquor, you'll get laid"
Next billboard says, "Don't drink and drive"

What goes on is not what we're told to see

Panic! Panic! War on Drugs
But you can buy beer at gas stations

The Myth is Real - Let's Eat

Pagan priests first used perfume
To mask the smell of burning flesh
Back in ancient Rome
The statues came unscrewed
Leaders change - just replace the heads!

Decay
Decline
Cover up
Refine
We are
In life
Roulette wheel
Or the ball inside

Anyone out there stopped to think
What our lives might be like today
If Karl Marx was as good a salesman
As Walt Disney

The bacon brought
You home to cook
The lobster lets
Itself get boiled
Looks too hard to climb
Out of the pot with all the crabs
Fear the unknown -
Who taught you that?

One hundred million trees a year
Get made into junk mail no one reads

What goes on is not what we're told to see

Half of all Americans don't read books
I'm one of them, but you're reading this

The Myth is Real - Let's Eat

General Robert E. Lee
Freed his slaves before Grant freed his
Brian Wilson's legs
Severed by a train
The crew sues him for stress

Levis were once made of hemp
From the marijuana plant
One acre makes four times more paper
Than an acre of trees

More protein than soy beans
Threat to logging companies
DuPont and tobacco barons
Got it banned in '37

The world is made of connections
So many sheep in wolf's clothing
Scary times are never dull
How long before our empire falls

No one wants the Pentagon
Toilets for six hundred bucks
Japanese spend twice as much
On pinball as defense

Meanwhile concerned citizens
In Albany, Oregon
Try to ban a book
'Cos it makes fun of Santa Claus

We're told 80% of people like the President in the polls
While only 15% believe he's in control
And 64% of lowans surveyed
Want to be reincarnated as themselves

Wowee...

6. That reminds me of "they tried to kill us, we survived, let's eat"
by Unorthodox.
