Satire inspired by the infamous photo of U.S. Army Private Lynndie England holding a leash around the neck of a bound, naked Iraqi prisoner at Abu Ghraib prison, and the desperately failing cover up by Bush and Rumsfeld for their policies allowing torture and war crimes on an international scale

Leash Girl
(Sung to the tune of "You're A Rich Girl" by Daryl Hall & John Oates)

(instrumental intro)

She's the Leash Girl, and she'd gone too far.
Photos showed it, but she thought she'd get away.
Bush will deny blame, and so does Rummy.
Bush will deny blame, and so does Rummy.
She's the Leash Girl, and she'd gone too far;
Pictures showed it, but she thought she'd get away.
"Stay, Rummy - folks will forget," says our Czar,
Says our Czar.

(instrumental break)

Those photos show... photos show...
What went wrong... when spooks run a prison crew.
She's a pawn... "on her own."
Where does blame belong? Dubya and his throng;
Rights they severed, this throng.

Lo...
She's the Leash Girl, and she'd gone too far;
Photos showed it, but she thought she'd get away.
Bush will deny blame, and so does Rummy.
Bush will deny blame, and so does Rummy.
She's the Leash Girl, and she'd gone too far;
Pictures showed it, but she thought she'd get away.
"Stay, Rummy - folks will forget," says our Czar, says our Czar.

Wasn't shy... dealing out pain.
It's so easy to hurt others, when you don't use your brain.
And Bush won't know... how bad this will grow.
'Cause there's too much to lose, too much bad war news;
We'd be thrilled at his fall...

Look...
She's the Leash Girl, and she'd gone too far;
Photos showed it, but she thought she'd get away.
Bush will deny blame, and so does Rummy.
Bush will deny blame, and so does Rummy.
She's the Leash Girl, and she'd gone too far;
Pictures showed it, but she thought she'd get away.
"Stay, Rummy - folks will forget," says our Czar.
"Stay, Rummy - folks will forget," says our Czar.
"Stay, Rummy - folks will forget," says our Czar.
Says our Czar.

Spin away...
Bush will deny blame, and so does Rummy.
Bush will deny blame, and so does Rummy.
Lynndie, Leash Girl... the Leash Girl...
Oh, she's the Leash Leash Girl...
"Stay, Rummy - folks will forget," says our Czar.
Says our Czar...

She's the Leash Girl, and she'd gone too far;
Photos showed it, but she thought she'd get away.
Bush will deny blame, and so does Rummy.
Bush will deny blame, and so does Rummy.
