DIRE STRAITS IN IRAQ: ‘LIVES FOR NOTHING’

[Don Davis]

I want my, I want my M-16
I want my, I want my M-16

Now look at them yo-yo’s, that’s the way they do it
They say they wanna’ spread Democracy
But that ain’t workin’, that’s the way they screw it
Wasted lives for nothin’ and their oil’s for free
Now that ain’t workin’, that’s the way they do it
Halliburton contractors really ain’t so dumb
Maybe get a blister on their little finger
Iraqis gettin’ blown up despite their purple thumb

We gotta install regimes that can’t govern
Custom Middle East theocracies
We gotta remove, Shiite militias
We gotta remove insurgent Sunnis

See the little maggot with “intelligence” that’s made-up
Mr. Retro-Fifties with a daughter queer
That little maggot got his own agenda
That little maggot he’s a billionaire

We gotta install regimes that can’t govern
Custom Middle East theocracies
We gotta remove, Shiite militias
We gotta remove insurgent Sunnis

We shoulda’ learned, how to win an election
We shoulda’ learned to throw out those bums
Look at that Rumsfeld, he’s flat-out gettin’ an erection
Just thinkin’ about when Armageddon comes
And look who’s up there, makin’ Neanderthal noises
Bangin’ on the lecturn like a chimpanzee
Oh, that’s just Dubya, that’s the way he does it
Wastin’ lives for nothin’ — gets his oil for free

We gotta install regimes that can’t govern
Custom Middle East theocracies
We gotta remove, Shiite militias
We gotta remove insurgent Sunnis

Now that ain’t workin’, that’s the way they do it
They say they wanna’ spread Democracy
That ain’t workin’, that’s the way they do it
Wasted lives for nothin’ and their oil’s for free

Wasted lives for nothin’ and their oil’s for free
I want my, I want my M-16
