Here's the lyrics to American Stranger's cult hit, ABB (Anybody But Bush). These are the only known set of transcribed lyrics I know of, and I just finished transcribing them myself. So if they need revision, please let me know. You that knows what, knows how to tell me. AND be sure to go download the REAL DEAL at blah3.com. See post below.


ABB

Harm it with harmony

ABB. How can I explain it?
I think you frame by frame it
I'll have you all jump in, and shall we sing it?

A is for Anybody, B is the big ol' funky BUT
the last B; well, now we're getting down to the nut

It stands for the guy who some can call the president
Approval ratings that he had, they all came and went.
He's a Bush and I don't want to bring him to the party.
Who's in his place? If you ask me, I say anybody.

If you ever cast a vote, I know you would regret it.
Don't look for Bush's help, because you can just forget it.
If you're living here, you realize the country's hurting,
Unless you're holding stock in Raytheon or Halliburton

All of a sudden there's a Democratic primary,
Better ideas on what they think the country ought to be.
Media says that there ain't no winner in the bunch,
But we're all knowing that the media is out to lunch

How many brothers out there know just what I'm getting at?
That think it's wrong because they don't agree that Bush is wack
Well if you do, that's ABB and you're not down with it.
But if you don't, here's your membership
You're down with ABB

Who's down with ABB?
(Yeah, you know me)
Who's down with ABB?
(Yeah, you know me)
Who's down with ABB?
(Yeah, you know me)
Who's down with ABB?
The whole Dem party

As for Bush, ABB's a little something different
Results are still the same, but it affects you kind of different
As mean Republicans go, he is the meanest.
Done more damage than even Clinton's penis.

The little punk never got elected properly,
Now he thinks the whole world is his property,
Starting war every where that the eye can see
Because you know my boy is down with PNAC

We got the numbers, but they got the voting machines
Gonna have to turn out like they've never seen.
Gonna have to win big, gonna have to win clean.
Don't matter if its Wesley Clark or Howard Dean,

My man Kerry is sure to get the job done
Even Mosely-Braun, or Reverend Sharpton
Even my little buddy Dennis Kucinich gonna take it all the way to the finish
Throw in with Gephardt, if that's the way it goes.
Or even Lieberman; you're gonna hafta hold your nose.

Too long standing and looking from the outside
Say ABB!
ABB!
I like to say it with pride
Now when you vote, vote well and make sure that it counts
And now you're down, with a discount

You're down with ABB
(Yeah, you know me)
You're down with ABB
(Yeah, you know me)
You're down with ABB
(Yeah, you know me)
Who's down with ABB?
The whole Dem party

You're down with ABB
(Yeah, you know me)
Who's down with ABB?
(Yeah, you know me)
You're down with ABB
(Yeah, you know me)
Who's down with ABB?
The Democrat Party

Break it down
ABB, Anybody But Bush
