Ballad of Alberto Gonzales (Dargan)

You sold me out
True beyond a doubt
I always stood beside you
Firm, legal hand to guide you
(You don’t have to shout)

I don’t recall
Much, if at all
I’d answer all their questions
They’ve got so many questions
I don’t recall

I’m not saying laws were not obeyed
I don’t think the jury would be swayed
I’m just saying that mistakes were made

How could I know
How this would go?
John Ashcroft did the hiring
Kyle Sampson did the firing
(more a brother than a lawyer now)
I shoveled snow

I don’t like the way that I’m portrayed
Stop calling this a grand crusade
I’m just saying that mistakes were made

Things fall apart
Doomed from the start
One speech in the Rose Garden
One pending, blanket pardon
(just another casualty of war)
No bleeding hearts

Suddenly my welcome’s overstayed
Hard not to feel a bit betrayed
I’m just saying that mistakes were made

You sold me out!
