When I was a young man
My father talked to me
He said: – Son, don't go to war,
That's not how life's to be –
I pretended to listen
As long as I could
All the things he told me
I finally understood.
It's a cruel world
If you're stuck in Iraq.
I thought I'd join the army
As a redblooded boy should
Fight over in Baghdad
On the side of the good
King George cut out battle pay
There are no nukes here
Are we ridding the world of WMD's
or helping Cheney's career
It's a cool, world
if you're in Cheney's Pack
But it's a cruel world
if you're stuck in Iraq
Enron has its problems
But Halliburton has Dick
All these crooked CEO's
Makes America sick
Doing away with the middle class
Only gonna be rich or poor
Give these guys our country
and they just take more
It's a cool, world
If you're in Cheney's Pack
But it's a cruel world
If you're stuck in Iraq.
