"Extreme Ways" Moby

Extreme ways are back again
Extreme places that I know
I broke everything here for gain
Everything that I'd owned
Career is out the window name is gone
Extreme ways that Iâ€™ve known
Remove my chances of a plea
Imperfect little me

Extreme ways that help me
They tell me that itâ€™s all right
Extreme places I have gone
But never without a fight
Dirty actions, dirty deals
Dirty words bleeping through
Extreme but not alone
Did I ever like it then

You would stand in line for this
No other deal in life like thisâ€¦

Oh Fitzi, oh Fitzi
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh Fitzi, oh Fitzi
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh Fitzi, oh Fitzi
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh Fitzi, oh Fitzi
Like it always does, always does

Extreme staff that sold me
They helped me think I was right
I always had so much to say
But the truth didn't get to light
I closed my eyes, closed in my house
And closed my options never opened
Up to anything
Except whatâ€™s leagally wrong

I had to close down my dreams
I had to close down my mind
Too many things point to me
Too much the Feds can find
I've hid so much in so many places
So much promised, so many faces
So many dirty things
You couldn't even believe

You would stand in line for this
No other deal in life like this

Renegade by Styx

Oh mama I'm in fear for my life
From the long arm of the law
Lawman has put an end to my running
And I'm so far from my home
Oh mama I can hear you a crying
You're so scared and all alone
Hangman is coming down from the gallows
And I don't have very long

The jig is up the news is out
They've finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
This will be the end today of the wanted man

Considering he's an ex- client of Genson's maybe Rod can get a break on permission to use R. Kelly's "trapped in the closet", the process to get Rod out seems to take at least as long as that song "cycle".

How about that great old theme song from John Wayne's "The High and The Mighty"? Kinda make you wanna cry; the song name fits the bill too.

Bye Bye Blago — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 15:58:36 -0000

Suspicious Minds (with apologies to Elvis)

Blagoâ€™s caught in a trap
He can't plead out
Because his campaign fundâ€™s on empty

He can't believe
What you're saying to me
That you don't believe a word heâ€™s sayinâ€™

Demâ€™s can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And they can't fund their dreams
With our suspicious minds

So, if an old friend he knows
Drops by to say hello
With more to sellâ€¦what would you buy?

There they go again
Talkinâ€™ â€˜bout his sins
You can't see these tears are real
Heâ€™s crying

We must go on without him
Heâ€™s crossed the line -
We can't build our dreams
With Blagoâ€™s lies

Oh let our state survive
And dry the tears from our eyes
Let's don't let a good thing die

When honey, you know
Heâ€™s always lied to you
Mmm yeah, yeah

With apologies to Townes, Willie and Merle

Blago and Fitzy

Governing on the edge my friend
Itâ€™s hard to keep free and clean
Soon youâ€™ll sleep behind bars of iron
Your helmet head rarely seen
You weren't the fixers only boy
But their favorite one it seems
They began to cry when you said goodbye
And sank from all your schemes

Blago was a bandit gov
His hair was hard as polished steel
Went to court in black spandex pants
To showcase testicular virility
Blago met his match you know
Under the dome by the Sangamo
Nobody heard his protesting words
Because he refused to show

All the federales say
Theyâ€™ll get him for the pay to play
He wonâ€™t leave, he hangs around
Heâ€™s just shameless I suppose

Fitzy he donâ€™t sing the blues
With Illinois govs, heâ€™s two for two
The dust that Blago bit down south
Caused by words from his own mouth
The day they lay poor Blago low
Fitzy will have another go
Whose next in this freak show
There ain't nobody knows

All the federales say
Theyâ€™ll get him for the pay to play
He wonâ€™t leave, he hangs around
Heâ€™s just shameless I suppose

The bloggers tell how Blago fell
Next for him, a Club Fed hotel
Oxfordâ€™s quiet, Duluthâ€™s cold
So the story ends we're told
Blago needs your prayers it's true,
But save a few for Fitzy too
He just did what he had to do
The crimes were base and bold

A few gray federales say
Theyâ€™ll get him for the pay to play
He wonâ€™t leave, he hangs around
Heâ€™s just shameless I suppose

Are you lonesome tonight?
Doesnâ€™t impeachment bite?
Will you miss being Governor now ?
Does your memory stray to a bright sunny day
When the voters all called you sweetheart?
Do the drawers in your war chest seem empty and bare?
Do you think of a jail cell and picture you there?
Is your heart filled with pain, can you come back again?
Tell me Rod, are you lonesome tonight?

(spoken)

I wonder if youâ€™re lonesome tonight
You know someone said that the worldâ€™s a stage
And each must play a part.
Fate had you playing in Illinois as our governor
Act One was when we met, Chicago loved you at first glance
You read your lines so cleverly and they voted for you
Then came act two, you seemed to change and you acted strange
And why weâ€™ll never know.
Rod, you lied when you said you loved us
And we had no cause to doubt you
But rather than go on hearing your lies
We want to go on living without you.
Now the stage is bare and youâ€™re standing there
With impeachment all around
We donâ€™t want you anymore
So weâ€™ll bring the curtain down

Is your heart filled with pain, career circling the drain?
Tell me Rod, are you lonesome tonight?

I was going to say suspicious minds because of the Guv's obsession with Elvis, but Boone Logan Square beat me to it. However, I'll include the lyrics because they're just too fitting. Also really like that Guv locked down, that was hilarious. (hat tip to IL Yeezy)

We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby

Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?

We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds

So, if an old friend I know
Drops by to say hello
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?

Here we go again
Asking where I've been
You can't see these tears are real
I'm crying

We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And be can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds

Oh let our love survive
Or dry the tears from your eyes
Let's don't let a good thing die

When honey, you know
I've never lied to you
Mmm yeah, yeah

Not about the Impeachment per se, but I couldn't help myself:

Roland, Roland, Roland
oh they're disapprovin'
Keep ol' Burris movin' ...Deny!!

Through Lies and Cheat and Scandal,
The Senate does mishandle,
Hoping their choice would pass them by
One thing that we're all missin'
A Government that listens
Has apparently curled up and died

Move 'em on, head 'em up
Head 'em up, Move 'em on
Move 'em on, head 'em up
Deny!
Count 'em in, count 'em out
give 'em vote, give 'em clout
Count 'em in, count 'em out
DENY......YAH! *whiplash sound* YAH! *whiplash sound*

Seems to me that "American Pie" must be used in this.

"Illinois Pie"

A long, long time ago...
I can still remember
How that used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those voters dance
And, maybe, they'd be happy for a while.

But December made me shiver
With every Senate Seat I'd deliver.
Bad news on the doorstep;
I couldn't take one more step.

I can't remember if I cried
When I heard about the Feds outside,
But something touched me deep inside
The day the hairgel died.

So bye-bye, Mr Illinois pie.
Took my hairbrush to the alley,............

(At this point my limited creativity has reached its nadir)

Lil' Wayne/kevin Rudolph say it best:

I see your dirty face
High behind your collar
What is done in vain
Truth is hard to swallow
So you pray to God
To justify the way you live a lie
Live a lie
Live a lie

And you take your time
And you do your crime
Well you made your bed
Iâ€™m in mine

Because when I arrive
I, I bring the fire
Make you come alive
I can take you higher
What this is, forgot?
I must now remind you
Let It Rock
Let It Rock
Let It Rock

(Kevin Rudolph)
Now the sonâ€™s disgrased
He, who knew his father
When he cursed his name
Turned, and chased the dollar
But it broke his heart
So he stuck his middle finger
To the world
To the world
To the world

And you take your time
And you stand in line
Well youâ€™ll get whatâ€™s yours
I got mine

Because when I arrive
I, I bring the fire
Make you come alive
I can take you higher
What this is, forgot?
I must now remind you
Let It Rock
Let It Rock
Let It Rock

(Lil Wayne)

BYE, BYE BLAGO

Pack up all my prison clothes,
Iâ€™ll be there,
Before ya know,
(Bye bye, Blago),

Where somebody waits for me,
Patti's sweet
But so is he,
(Bye bye, Blago)

No one here can love or understand me,
Oh, what bad news stories they all hand me,

Make my bed and light the light,
I'll be there
Despite my â€œfight,â€
(Blago, bye bye.

He's called Blago and he'll never ever be any good
He's called Blago and he never really does what he should
But just because he doesn't do what everybody else does
doesn't mean that we can't share love
He is always true (to me)
F 'ng golden's what I'll be
'Cause he's not the governor, no, no, no
He's not the governor, no, no, not for free

Oh, it needs to be the Steam song used by the Sox:

You said you're honest
You'd give us your real best
But then you showed us all it really
was a lie

After your reign of terror and your high crimes
(high crimes, all the time)
We wanna say we kiss you,
(wouldn't say we miss you)
We're gonna kiss you, good-bye...

na na na, na,
na, na NA, na,
HEY HEY, ROD, GOOD_BYE!

An Elvis cover:

As the snow flies...

On a cold and gray Chicago morn,
we are gonna stop a guy who for the law holds scorn,
name of Blago.

And his law firm cries.

'Cause if there's one thing that Rod don't need,
is another lawyer bill for stunts that don't succeed,
Silly Blago.

People gotta understand
this guv has gotten out of hand
and he'll never go unless we show him the way

Now his buddy Emil's a-goin',
we're gonna eject him from his throne
as Springfield workers pop the corks, all day long!

We can get the state on track,
we can take our guv'ment back,
meanwhile Burris sits around and edits resume's.

Well the worm turns
as the guy who wanted to be president
looks ahead to a new home, with the fed-paid rent
good-bye, Blago.

And as his fortunes die,
On a cold and gray Chicago morn,
Another grand jury is about to be formed
just for Blago.

And the lawyers smile.
