sung to the dead’s “Me and My Uncle” (via Jeffrey; I’ll post a link to his blog when he’s got more than one entry 🙂
Me and Dick Cheney,
Went bombin towns
Umm Qasr and Basra
West Baghdad bound
We bombed over from in Bahrain
You know diplomacy just went down the drain
A puppet regime and Saddam takes all the blame.
Well, I bombed the palace, I bombed their malls
I bombed their bunker, called it shock and awe
Three days in the battle, you know that had to hurt
It being Saddam, I unleashed the worst
And dropped more bombs on top of that sandy dirt
West Texas cowboys bomb all around
For oil and money, we blowed em down
Back to the stone age, it seems like a sham
You know Dick Cheney; he’s got a peaceful plan
Attack Iraq and the winner take all the land
Americas winning, but we still drop more
We dropped a big one, and then four more
Accuse me of cheatin, oh no it couldn’t be
You know Dick Cheney; he’s as honest as me
And I’m as honest as the (p)resident can be.
One of those Iraqi, he wouldn’t withdraw
So I bombed the whole town, dad, they never saw.
Bombed me another, Goddamn this don’t get old!
In their confusion, Dick Cheney grabbed their gold
And we low-balled it high to Texaco.
Now I love that petrol, I love black gold
We can burn hydro, but it can’t be $old
You taught me good dad, taught me I’ve known
Taught me so well I grabbed that oil,
And turned that sand into American soil.
