Burning Bush

Braid magic up and down America And on comes a man With a smile that's taken years to fix Spreading pesitilence and disease Till it's holding him And could know no difference And I want to know And I want to know I want to know Is this going to be the one The one who gets it done Tell me burning bush Tell me burning bush Maybe we should have been the bush I believe in freedom for the nations The ones who cannot cope With a life full of heart attacks in money belts The Madonnas and Coca Cola And corporations who own the very air that you breath And I want to know And I want to know I want to know I want to know Is this going to be the one who drops the bomb The one who gets it wrong Tell me burning bush Tell me burning bush Maybe we should have been the bush And I want to know And I want to know I want to know I want to know Is this going to be the one who drops the bomb The one who gets it wrong Tell me burning bush Tell me burning bush Maybe we should have been the bush

The song appeared on the summer 1990 demo compilation tape:

As Phil was living in Ireland temporarily, this track was recorded on a Portastudio 4-track in one or more bedrooms using a drum machine. A full band version of this was demoed later, but this is the acoustic take. The Bush of the title refers to US President George Bush Senior.
