They had good intentions.
Take care of all my illness.
Thanks to those low down politicians.
Those son of a bitches always screw me.
Bring all my VA papers
And that folder with all of my waivers.
Benefits they said I could keep.
They keep finding new ways to cheat

If I can just get out of this VA clinic
Without getting killed or mauled
I was safer in a firefight's smoke
In some land where we had fought fought fought

Here's to those old veterans
You are the ones we will all miss
I can hear in parades singing
Stars and Stripes is the banner lifted
Sing it for me just one more time now
Got to give it all you can now
We believe everything your saying
Just keep on, keep on playing

If I can just get out of this VA clinic
Without getting killed or mauled
I was safer in a firefight's smoke
In some land where we had fought fought fought

Your appointment card's in the mailbox
All they have are these new foreign docs.
Surely this isn't your cast lot
There's something' somebody has forgot
America, don't you cry, now
You're a gift that's freely given
You've done something we believe in
Healthcare promised keep you living

If I can just get out of this VA clinic
Without getting killed or mauled
I was safer in a firefight's smoke
In some land where we had fought fought fought

Well the chart says it's biop time, now
I guess you'd better test, now
I really need a treatment, real soon
Cancer crawls past the prostate wall
Sleepless nights 'cause of urine flow
My pain says soon no chance at all
No other place to go
No other place to go

Make me wait six months in your vet clinic
Treat me worse than some galley slave
Turn me down and I'll wither, Barry
Shuffling to an early grave

Well your minions make false waiting lists
Speak in secret alphabets
I should have been a terrorist
Learn to regret
Learn to regret
Learn to regret
Learn to regret

Let me weep all night in your vet clinic
Give me a patch to block the pain
Save the best for Al Qa'eda, Barry
Has this country gone insane

Well the doc says it's in the bone, now
I know it's time to go, now
I really think I'll die here
Tonight .. tonight ... tonight

Ah Comrade.. That was well worth the wait

Apparently, the scandal is so grave, Comrade Director, it has bestirred the People's Conscience, Neil Young, to write yet another classic anti-progg protest song. This could be the game changer for the teabaggers, I fear.



Ill soldiers and ratings falling
They've finally critiqued O
This summer, I fear stonewalling
Four dead in VA probe

Gotta get down to it
Doctors are blowing us off
Should have had tests long ago
What if they stalled him
Cancer's now spread to the bone
How can you lie when you know

Na na na na na na na ... ad nausea

Got to look into it
Soldiers are being turned down
Should have been fixed long ago
What if you saw him
Low'red six feet in the ground
How could you comfort his widow

Shinsecki and lib'rals conning
They mightily guard The O
This summer the media's yawning
Four dead in VA probe

Four dead in VA probe
Four dead in VA probe
Four dead in VA probe
Four dead in VA probe (Deserved so much more!)
Four dead in VA probe (How can it be?)
Four dead in VA probe (What a disgrace!)
Four dead in VA probe (Why?)
Four dead in VA probe (Why?)

Comrade, that brought me to tears

Hey vets, take in shorts together
The sh*t storm's hitting the fan
All they talk is change in the weather
Throw one under the bus tonight
So stick around
You're gonna hear a lot bullsh*t
Spreadin' blame around

Kerry and Obama, they avoid this mess
But they've parceled out, Shinseki and the Vets
Oh but they're smeared and they're full of bull
Oh Shinseki he's Mister Bean
They're just a bunch of goofs in empty suits
You know it's all just a big a smokescreen
Shinseki and the Vets

Hey Vets, plug into your healthcare
It's all deluded
You made yourself a target
Try and survive, maybe you can move beyond
The wars you fought and were sent
Who gives the right to do you wrong?

Kerry and Obama, they avoid this mess
But they've parceled out, Shinseki and the Vets
Oh but they're smeared and they're full of bull
Oh Shinseki he's splittin' scene
They're just a bunch of goofs in empty suits
You know it's all just a big a smokescreen
Shinseki and the Vets

Shinseki and the Vets

Shinseki
Shinseki and the Vets
Shinseki
Shinseki

Shinseki and the Vets

Most excellent comrades!!! Had me rolling again.

Now I've been wait'n lately
Thinking about my health-care to come
And I believe it could be
A fake list that I'm on

I've been calling lately
Calling about my date to come
And I believe it could be
Some day it's going to come

For into the edge of darkness
There runs the VA
VA take this veteran
Then send me home again

I've been applying lately
Trying to speed up the wait that I'm on
And I believe it could be
Some day it's going to come

VA sounding prouder
Rely on the VA
Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah

Come to the VA
VA's a single payer
Everyone jump upon the VA
Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah
This is the VA

Get your meds together
Come bring your good friends too
Because it's getting nearer
Soon you'll be on it too
Come and join the dying
It's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer
The "death panels" were true

VA sounding prouder
Ride to the VA
Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah
Come to the VA

I've been crying lately
Thinking about the care that I get
Why must I go on waiting?
Why must I sit in piss?

For into the edge of darkness
There lies the VA
VA take this veteran
Then send me home again

VA sounding prouder
Ride to the VA
Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah
Come to the VA

VA's a single payer
Everyone jump upon the VA
Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah
This is the VA

Come on, come on, come to the VA

Warms my heart like week old beet soup...
