Eminem has joined the swelling
ranks of American music artists who are speaking out against Bush.
On a newly leaked
warcry called "Mosh," an incensed Eminem calls Bush a "monster," a "coward
that we have empowered," urges listeners to put aside differences to "fight," "charge,"
"march" and "mosh"
outside
the oval
office until
he brings the troops home, and asks "how can we allow something like this without
pumping our fists."
Leaked to the
internet yesterday, "Mosh" begins with kids citing the pledge of allegiance.
Eminem then fires lyrics such as:
"Strap
him with an AK-47, Let him go fight his own war... / No more blood for
oil, we got our own battles to fight on our own soil / No more psychological
warfare
to trick us to thinking we aint loyal / if we don't serve our own country
with patronizing
a hero."
"Mosh now or die,"
Eminem commands. "If I get slain tonight, you'll know why, cuz I told you
to fight."
He also states, "And
as we proceed to mosh through this desert storm/ in these closing statements
if
they should
agrue, let us beg to differ / As we set
aside our differences and assemble our own army/ to disarm this weapon
of mass destruction we call our President for the present / and mosh for
the
future of our next generation to speak and be heard."

Recently, Eminem's
tour DJ, Green Lantern,
teamed with the Young Voter Alliance to release a pro-Democratic mixed tape.
It is unclear whether "Mosh" will
appear on the up-coming Eminem set Encore.
In other Slim
Shady news, fans who purchase Encore will be able to
register to win one of 400 prizes, including platinum plaques, Sirius
satellite radio equipment and subscriptions, and a chance to work on a music
video. The contest, an attempt to thwart bootlegging, will require a legally
purchased CD which can then be used to get a key at Eminem's official site.
