Текст песни I Don't Hate The President

I don't hate Iraq
Truth is I've never met her
She's got her problems same as me
I wish I could forget her
I don't hate the US
Lived here all my days
Watched her sons go off and die
So I could live my way

But I hate killing and I hate war
I hate MTV and company stores
I hate Haliburton I hate Saddam
I hate rubber bullets and the river Somme

I don't hate the president
Truth is I never met him
Never voted for him either
Wish I could forget him
I don't hate money
Worked awfully hard for mine
Lay down my head and I can sleep
Pass the night just fine

I hate hunger I hate disease
I hate to watch my child teased
I hate collateral damage and friendly fire
Chemical weapons and my wife's ire

I don't hate oil
Truth is I need it where I sit
But mixed with blood it leaves me cold
I wish I could forget it
I don't hate CEOs
They don't come around where I've been
They'd look kinda silly if they did
I wish I could forget 'em

I hate union busting and the moral perch
I hate the collection plate in church
I hate preachers they leave me cold
I hate teenagers and growing old

I don't hate the UN
Truth is I've never been there
But I wouldn't mind sitting in
To find out what they do there
I don't hate Baghdad
Truth is I've never been there
Looks kinda pretty from here
With them fireworks in the air

I hate being told what to do
Or what to think I'm telling you
I cried the day the towers fell
But all you heard was the closing bell
