President Bush gave a press conference this week in which he spoke about Iraq and said that Saddam Hussein is a threat and that now is the time to act. The President told a reporter that he prays everyday. And since he entered the White House, a lot of other people have been praying every day, too.
It'll be a good war
And it doesn't matter what we're fighting for
It'll go one-two-three
And Iraq'll be a democracy
What's the matter with France?
Don't they know America wears the pants.
We've had enough talk
Let's go get Iraq.
Baghdad will be ours
In a mighty shower of firepower
We will kill at long-range
And get a regime change.
And what happens then
We'll leave it up to the oilmen
I'm sure they can manage
The collateral damage.
With Afghanistan it makes a double-header
Two short wars with a sense of style
Only World War Two was better
Boy, a war as good as that only comes along once in awhile.
And at the U.N.
They just talk and talk again and again
I get tired of words
And all the stuff about the Kurds
But one thing's for sure.
We won't be vacationing in Europe this year
Yes, I believe we will stay
Right here in the USA.
