Il titolo significa alla lettera: "Bush può mangiarmi il pelo della fica".

tanya janca Jason: What are your feelings about George Bush? What inspired you to write the song "Bush can eat my bush"?

Tanya: Oh-oh. I'm not sure you want to open that can of worms... I feelthat he has misled his country, and since his country is the most powerful and influential country in the world they have been influencing other countries (bullying other countries) into doing all sorts of things that I don't believe they want to do and that I don't believe are right. He has waged two wars and it hasn't even been 4 years yet, both of which are no where near complete and the people in these countries and American soldiers are paying the price... From his "gag rule", to not giving international aid to agencies that offer abortion as a family planning option, to tax breaks for the rich, I believe he has done much more harm than good, for the entire world, not just his own country. I think I'll stop there.

Ottawa Underground
Radioactive depleted uranium, polluting waste, catastrophic cancer,
Sporadic bombings, in a sanctions regime, a country that used to be rich, now lies in ruins.

How could you? How could I?
How could we? As an international community?
Let this go? Turn our heads?
I can't think of what to say, so I'll say the most offensive thing I can: Bush you can eat my bush.

You got your finger on the trigger boy, with your "preemptive strike", You've got a 52 card deck, not even your citizens respect.
He says "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, we won't get fooled again!" (Yeah, that's how that saying goes...)

How could you? How could I?
How could we? As an international community?
Let this go? Turn our heads?
You have taken this too far, Bush you can eat my bush.

This didn't start with you, this started long before you, but you can change this , this can end with you.
You can show the world, that you can change the world. You can show the world that there is still time, to repent.

How could you? How could I?
How could we? As people who are ordinary?
Let this go? Turn our heads?
We've ALL taken this too far, Bush you can eat my bush.

How could you?
