He's at it again
And he's gonna win
Gonna take it for a hell ride anyway
He's on your side
Gonna throw you aside
And let the vultures pick apart what's left
Seems like everything was just a fraction of a second from being okay
So run and hide 'cause we're all gonna die
And let the vultures pick apart what's left
I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back
He's at it again
He's at it again
And it makes great television watching the world end
He's at it again
He's gonna win
Gonna take it for a joyride anyway
You're standing in line, better make up your mind
And let the bastard pick apart what's left of you
Seems like everything was just a fraction of being a dream
So run and hide 'cause we're all gonna die
Let the government decide what's left
I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back
He's at it again
He's at it again
And it makes great television watching the world end
I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back
Walk around I see
Million possibilities
Well I know
Nowhere to go
And I can't comprehend
Things this real seems so pretend
I know...I don't know
But I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back
And it makes great television watching the world end
I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back
And it makes great television watching the world end
I'll be back

    General Comment:if this were on the album, i'd say it fits between Jesus of Suburbia and Holiday.

    General Comment:lol...you can't be MAYOR of Connecticut...But Jerry Springer was mayor of Cincinatti, OH, I'm pretty sure. And Bush was born in Connecticut not Texas (100% sure). Laura was born in Midland. Just clearing all that up, not like any of you care. There is no doubt whatsoever that this is about old Arnold.

    General Comment:I am from California and I GUARANTEE you this song is about Arnold. EVERYONE here refers to him as the Governator, some mockingly and some lovingly. It simply amazes me that people can listen to this song and not realize that it is about arnold.

    1. It's called GOVERNATOR!!!! Doesnt anyone watch Daily Show? Hell they even called the election "Total Recall" (because it was recalling Gray Davis) I am dead serious.

    2.He repeatedly says "I'll be back" if you missed this clue, commit yourself to a mental institution.
