Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There hadn't been much happenin' in the news that day
Not much of nothin' on TV
Not big on Yankee baseball, I'm afraid to say
Enron didn't hardly interest me
I changed the channel, went on up to bed
Left the phone in silent mode
Woke up next afternoon, the voicemail says
“Where the goddamn hell you been? There's three thousand dead"
[Chorus]
And, Annie, what you doin' in Nebraska?
Does anybody know what's goin' on?
Annie, what you doin' in Nebraska?
Trade Center's gone, Trade Center's gone
[Verse 2]
I never thought much of the younger Bush
He never seemed to have a clue
He sat there smilin' with that children's book
While they decided what to do
No one could find him 'til that big blue plane
Set down at Offutt AFB
We've all seen worse now, but his name's still mud
For goin' down that rabbit hole while Arafat gave blood
[Chorus]
And, Annie, what you doin' in Nebraska?
Does anybody know what's goin' on?
Annie, what you doin' in Nebraska?
Trade Center's gone, Trade Center's gone
[Instrumental]
Now they tell us how he found his feet
Standin' in the rubble of the towers
Who of us can name the one who wrote that speech?
Loaned him the words to seize the hour
He laid the blame on Saddam Hussein
You'da thought we mighta learned
He sat with Prince Bandar, both enjoyed a fine cigar
On the White House Truman Balcony while the Pentagon still burned
[Chorus]
And, Annie, what you doin' in Nebraska?
I don't think we're in Kansas anymore
Annie, what you doin' in Nebraska?
I guess we're goin' to war, I guess we're goin' to war
Annie, what you doin' in Nebraska?
Does anybody know what's goin' on?
Annie, what you doin' in Nebraska?
Trade Center's gone, Trade Center's gone
The Trade Center's gone
