     The song seems pretty irrelevant now so I m not sure why they would play it live.


    How many lines are not relevant in 2019?


    How does he do it? How do they do it? uncanny and immutable
    This is such a happening tailpipe of a party
    Like sugar, the guests are so refined
    A confidence man, but why so beleaguered?
    He's not a leader, he's a Texas leaguer
    Swinging for the fence, got lucky with a strike
    Drilling for fear makes the job simple
    Born on third, thinks he got a triple

    I remember when you sang that song about today
    Now it's tomorrow and everything has changed
    A think tank of aloof multiplication
    A nicotine wish and a Columbus decanter
    Retrenchment and hoggishness
    The aristocrat choir sings, "what's the ruckus?"
    The haves have not a clue
    The immenseness of suffering
    And the odd negotiation, a rarity
    With onionskin plausibility of life
    And a keyboard reaffirmation
    Blackout weaves its way through the city
    Blackout weaves its way through the city
    Blackout weaves its way...
    I remember when you sang that song about today
    Now it's tomorrow and everything has changed
    I remember when you sang that song about today
    Now it's tomorrow and everything has changed
    Changed, changed, chains, etc...

    Although both are quite unpopular, Bush does not equal Trump. Trump should get his own song...or even album.

    I remember one of the 03 shows had bushleaguer go into fuckin up. 

    Also, someone mentioned the connection to Bowie's 'The Man Who Sold the World'. I have a version in my PJ concert archives where Ed goes, "Ch-ch-change, change, change. Ch-chch-change, change change' on the outtro.
