(instrumental intro)

War hawk of right wing bent,
Pal of Bush the pResident.
Star Wars, his former pet.
Iraq prize, his biggest yet.
Now hear: Bush says there is no room, 'cause the
U.N.'s gonna get the broom.
Garner plans to be the proxy
King of Iraq.

Iraq czar's pet refrain:
"Military is the main
Way to solve all issues."
Neo-cons all share such views.
Warhawk old fogies still around;
Served Bush Daddy, duty-bound.
Garner plans to be the proxy
King of Iraq.

Iraq war was engineered to numb your brain.
War killed children, all done in our names;
"Collateral damage" in every town.
Bush bombed Iraq; their oil's been hocked; they're colony-bound.
