Iraq for sale, Iraq for sale!
Bring your shovel and bring your pale
We'll dig foundations for parking lots
For McDonalds, Shell, and Wal-Mart
They'll all connect together and
These Iraqis will be free, to choose their brand
And buy the clothes they want to wear
Or the 100,000 soldiers there
Will make sure that they do
Iraq for sale, Iraq for sale!
Close your eyes and pin the tail
Let the market rule the land
Invisible justice from invisible hands
The locals can try to compete
And strap new Nike's on their feet
They can gain from all this wealth
If they just stop caring about their health
And be the worker bees
Iraq for sale, Iraq for sale!
Acid rain the size hail
Let chemicals fill the desert heat
Ignore the people living in the street
Just smile and know that you're not there
And if the Army's here then all is fair
Because they're keeping it safe for private gain
So back your wallet and arrive by plane
There ain't much time to waste
Iraq for sale, Iraq for sale!
If the WTO meetings fail
And Bechtel wines and kicks and shouts
Because the Bolivians kicked them out
And Cheney wants Halliburton's vote
And the protesters keep rocking the boat
And the people are calling Bush on his lies
All you need to do is privatize
And make that money quick!
Iraq for sale, Iraq for sale!
Buy the water or buy the mail
You can buy the schools and prison cells
You can buy what's left of the hospitals
You can buy the electric power too
And bust the unions that bother you
You can even buy the soil
You just can't buy the oil.
