Okay, it's not really Autumn, but I didn't write the song. Sara did, in a comment thread over at Atrios):

Autumn in New York!

Autumn in New York,
Why does it seem...uninviting?
Autumn in New York
Look at those placards they're writing!

Ominous crowds with Abu Ghraib shrouds
In canyons of steel,
They’re making me feel - like a heel.

It’s autumn in New York!
Placards on each subway train,
Rallies in Central Park:
"NO MORE YEARS" is their refrain.

Marchers with angry signs,
Long unemployment lines,
Is it autumn in New York,
Or Chicago all over again?

Autumn in New York:
Rooftop signs seen from the plane,
"Cheney is a Dork,"
"Bush Lied, They Died" and words profane.

Yes, jaded pols and media trolls
Who lunch at the Ritz
Will say it's no big deal, but still -

This autumn in New York
Regime change is in the air!
Oh, autumn in New York
Taxis to and from Mad Square

Pass by demos dawn to dark,
Cops and firemen, mad and noisy,
Why did we pick New York?
Next time let's meet in Boise.
