Saddam Shame Lyrics

Thank God we finally had us a war
it's what Neocons have been hankering for.
Rivers of gore we can wave the flag o'er
Flaunting our Superpower status
Wringing our hands saying, "Why do they hate us?"

Thank God, we're finally nabbed you, Saddam
You horrible threat to our dear Uncle Sam
After you spent nine months eating goat on the lam

While we liberated your country
Slashing and burning and saving just one tree...
The Minis-tree of Oil

Saddam shame, Saddam shame
We all had to learn your damn name
Only three questions remain
Who's sane? Who's sane? Who's sane?

Iraq is the front in the war against terror
Might be because we invited them there or
Perhaps there's some terrible clerical error
Maybe a faulty equation
Like 911 equals U.S. invasion

We are not nation builders we know that for certain
We're building the sovereign State of Halliburton
Ignoring the guy there behind the big curtain
Drivin' around feelin' groovy
A star spangled banner on every SUV

Saddam shame, Saddam shame
We all had to learn your damn name
Only three questions remain
Who's sane? Who's sane? Who's sane?

We put you on trial for a jury of your peers
Twelve bloody dictators with no careers
To decide how you'll spend your retirement years
And your legacy, now that you've fallen
Hitler, but littler,
or Stalin, but a small'n

It's an interesting story how we came to hate you
If you'd never existed, we'd have to create you
And send Donald Rumsfeld to interrogate you...and fellate you
"You were ruthless and cruel, and you knew it
You oppressed that whole nation, now how did you do it?"

Saddam Shame, Saddam Shame
"That's my Donald Rumsfeld impersonation. I'm an abstract impressionist."
Hussein, Hussein, Hussein

We shocked 'em and awed 'em and went to the showers
"Mission Accomplished," hey, where's all the flowers?
The tyrant is vanquished and Baghdad is ours -
I mean, theirs

the incoming Iraqi government
or as they say: the Iraqi government - Incoming!

Still, you'd have to say somebody screwed ya
If your travel agent sent you to Fallujah

Now we've learned our lesson, it's hard to conduct
A war when the pre-war intelligence sucked
now some say the country is totally fu...far
from anything a well-meaning superpower could ever hope to reconstruct.

But don't try to say we're not winning
hang in there it's only the 23rd inning.

And it's a double beheader
and the new game is just beginning.

Saddam shame, Saddam shame
We all had to learn your damn name
Only three questions remain
Who's sane? Who's sane? Who knows?
