SADDAM SHAME | SADDAM SHAME |
| |
Thank God we finally had us a war | Thank God we finally had us a war |
It's what we've been spending our tax dollars for | It's what we've been spending our tax dollars for |
The rivers of gore we can wave the flag o'er | Rivers of gore we can wave the flag o'er |
Sparking a stock market rally | Sparking a stock market rally |
Soaring as high as the casualty tally | Soaring as high as the casualty tally |
| |
Our statement of purpose was to liberate | We're fighting for freedom, we know that for sure |
That lovable serfdom we know as Kuwait | Freedom from running our cars on manure |
But if we should eliminate one head of state | And tell me what could be red, white and bluer |
Iraq doesn't need a dictator | Than bombing a strange foreign nation |
Just an American administrator | So we could all take our summer vacation |
| |
Saddam shame, Saddam shame | Saddam shame, Saddam shame |
We all had to learn your damn name | We all had to learn your damn name |
Only three questions remain | Only three questions remain |
Who's sane? Who's sane? Who's sane? | Who's sane? Who's sane? Who's sane? |
| |
We were fighting for freedom, that much is for sure | George Bush, the Elder, rode into Iraq |
Freedom from running our cars on manure | And gave 'em a taste of a Big Mac attack |
And tell me what could be red, white and bluer | Climbed on his Hummer and said, "I'll be back!" |
Than bombing a strange foreign nation | Passing the peace-loving Saudis |
So we can all take our summer vacation | Tippin' their Stetsons and waivin' their howdy's |
| |
The Butcher of Baghdad was your nom de guerre | Then Bush, the Lesser, was eager to jump in |
A nickname you'll have to be willing to share | He couldn't find Osama, he had to do sump'in |
When we open up our own butcher shop there | To give himself somethin' to say when he's stumpin' |
You bombed and gassed your own people | People make fun of the POTUS |
But they followed you to our slaughterhouse just like sheep'll | But he doesn't mind, in fact, he doesn't notice |
| |
Saddam shame, Saddam shame | Saddam shame, Saddam shame |
We all had to learn your damn name | We all had to learn your damn name |
Only three questions remain | Only three questions remain |
Who's sane? Who's sane? Who's sane? | Who's sane? Who's sane? Who's sane? |
| |
Our president worked for the Central Intel... | Iraq is the front in the war against terror |
ligence Agency and before that for Shell | Might be because we invited 'em there or |
We know if he's lying he's doing it well | Perhaps there's some terrible clerical error |
Yes, he studied popular phonics | Maybe a faulty equation |
And he's learned the lessons of history...onics | Like 911 equals U.S. invasion |
| |
Yes, we're the world champions of democracy | We are not nation builders we now know for certain |
So we'll keep sending our military | We're building the sovereign State of Halliburton |
'Til every nation is sovereign and free | Ignoring the guy there behind the big curtain |
All the while intoning our mantra | Drivin' around feelin' groovy |
Nam myoho renge and aid to the contra | The star spangled banner on every SUV |
| |
Now I could have told you that right would prevail | The Butcher of Baghdad was your nom de guerre |
So three cheers, hurrah, bravo, right-on, hail, hail! | A nickname you'll have to be willing to share |
To President Bush and Vice President ... uh... | Now that we've opened up our own butcher shop there |
And the brave men and women in khaki | In fact now we'll have to rename ya |
And our best to every remaining Iraqi | And clean our mess up in Mesopotamia |
| |
Saddam shame, Saddam shame | Saddam shame, Saddam shame |
We all had to learn your damn name | We all had to learn your damn name |
Only three questions remain | Only three questions remain |
Who's sane? Who's sane? Who's sane? | Who's sane? Who's sane? Who's sane? |
Yes, only three questions remain | Yes, only three questions remain |
Who's sane? Who's sane? Who knows? | Who's sane? Who's sane? Who knows? |
