Pearl Jam dedicates an entire song to taking down then-President George W. Bush. The song was written in 2002, after 9/11 but before the March 2003 invasion of Iraq.

A think tank of aloof multiplication
A nicotine wish and a Columbus decanter
Retrenchment and hoggishness
The aristocrat choir sings "What's the ruckus?"
The haves have not a clue
The immenseness of suffering and the odd negotiation, a rarity

That song about today
Now it's tomorrow and
Everything has changed
I remember when you sang
That song about today
Now it's tomorrow and
Everything has changed
[Outro]
Changed, changed... (changed, changed, changed)
