This song is a political rant about the Bush administration.

- Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
- He may have blurred the laws and lines a little bit
- Did we forget to mention...? Well you know how hard we're workin'
- So just sit there and watch that other idiot
- And never mind that we weren't quite elected to begin with
- Never mind we schemed and lied to get our country in this
- Never mind the neon sign of what we've come to be
- Or the torture in the prisons where we threw away the key
- Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
- Ignore us just the way that we ignore you
- We're smug in our ascension, and with the lord, and certain
- And well beyond the law we can assure you
- We're prospering aplenty and that's all that really matters
- Your founding father's documents we'll leave in bits and tatters
- Preposterous to picture us in stripes behind the bars
- We're using your subpoenas to light our fat cigars
- Just imagine our surprise when we came to realize
- There was nothing that you wouldn't let us do
- We're reviled and despised, worldwide
- But we're still representing you
- Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
- We'll trash the world before you'll see us humbled
- Our sole intention is to keep our engines turnin'
- Let history debate how your lives crumbled
- We're setting our agendas just like dons behind their car doors
- Every bit as evil as the emperor in "Star Wars"
- While congress stands and rings their hands and wonders what to do
- We'll keep on killing lots of them and quite a few of you
- Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
- Just sit there and watch that other idiot
- Yeah just sit there and watch that other idiot
