A farewell song to our former attorney general. Mike Drayton on fiddle and vocals

Farwell Alberto Gonzales - we think that you should know
Torturers all over the world are sad to see you go
Because you helped legitimize the grizzly work they do
But it’s hasta la vista señor Gonzales – farewell, good bye, fuck you

For legalizing torture, we have you and Cheney to thank
Who knew that water boarding was a harmless college prank?

Our first Latino uncle Tom, you really showed some class
Suppressing basic human rights while kissing Bush’s ass
A tio taco, el supremo, lap dog of the right
But it’s hasta la vista señor Gonzales -farwell, fuck you, good night

Spying on the terrorist is what you liked to do
'Cuz a terrorist is anyone who disagrees with you

Thanks to you many innocent prisoners will never be set free
They’re held without charges and Habeus Corpus has become history
You trampled all over our civil rights –and our constitution too
So it’s hasta la vista senior Gonzales, farewell, good bye, fuck you.
