Satire about Blackwater Security, a contractor supplying expensive $1000-a-day mercenaries for the U.S. occupation army in Iraq

Blackwater
(Sung to the tune of "Black Water" by The Doobie Brothers)

(instrumental intro)

Mercenaries attacked in Iraq; no more gloatin'.
Bush gettin' snippy; appalled he's to blame.
Contractors jumpin' - the gravy train's pumpin'.
Blackwater Security - money's their aim.

So Blackwater's troops are trollin'
Mission is a boon, but Iraq is not their country.
So Blackwater's troops are trollin'
Mission is a boon, but Iraq is not their country.
So Blackwater's troops are trollin'
Mission is a boon, but Iraq is not their country.

Yeah, keeps on pinin' to fight.
Money makes everything; yeah, money makes everything all right.
But they now got big worries;
Prison scandal now at Abu Graib.

(instrumental break)

Big profit gains; got their share,
Through sale of influence, you see.
Ex-SEALS and street thugs who fought in Cape Town.
Yeah, contractors cheer; Bush flunkies fixed a scam:
War contracts by the chunk.
Iraqis dyin', mercenaries drink, tote gu-u-uns...

So Blackwater's troops are trollin'
Mission is a boon, but Iraq is not their country.
So Blackwater's troops are trollin'
Mission is a boon, but Iraq is not their country.
So Blackwater's troops are trollin'
Mission is a boon, but Iraq is not their country.

Yeah, keeps on pinin' to fight.
Money makes everything; yeah, money makes everything all right.
But they now got big worries;
Prison scandal now at Abu Graib.

(instrumental break)

Contractors cheer; Bush flunkies fixed a scam.
Scandal-rama; Bush mistakes divide our land.
Divide our land (land),
Bush divides our land (Where's Osama?)
War advanced by the Bushies of his throng.
Contractors cheer; Bush flunkies fixed a scam.
Scandal-rama; Bush mistakes divide our land.

Divide our land (land),
Bush divides our land (Where's Osama?)
War advanced by the Bushies of his throng.
Contractors cheer; Bush flunkies fixed a scam.
Scandal-rama; Bush mistakes divide our land.
