It starts off with a trumpet playing the first six notes of "Taps", followed by a chorus singing about various reasons to impeach then-U.S. President George W. Bush. The song contains sound clips from the president's speeches.
Young attempted to trick Stephen Colbert (who was then in character) into playing the song on his August 17, 2006, appearance on The Colbert Report.
