Excerpt:
ASHCROFT'S ARMY by John McCutcheon

I wanna be in Ashcroft’s Army
I wanna be a spy
I wanna watch my neighbor’s doings
Kiss your rights goodbye
In this legal devolution
Here’s your chance for retribution
Let’s just can the Constitution
I’m gonna be a spy

I wanna be in Ashcroft’s Army
I wanna be a fed
I might look like the meter man
But I’m a spy instead
Delivering pizza or the mail
Buddy, you can never tell
I’ll haul your sorry ass to jail
I’m gonna be a spy...

2. This Guy is Great

I go see him at Wolf Trap here outside DC every spring. Great folk musician, and very funny. Obviously of a "left" persuasion. He has CD that you can get from his website called "Hail to the Chief" which is full of these type songs. He has a hilarious one with all of the lyrics being the verbal mangling of the English language by Georgie Boy.
