So ya think that throwin' your weight around is the way to save the world? (You're sure to fall.)

Spreadin' warheads and hate around (You're sure to fall.)

Didja think your ass was covered cause you read the Bible every day?

Jesus says "You didn't listen to a single goddamn word I say."

 

Say, that flight suit makes you look just like a Commander-in-Chief (Ooo! You sure look tall!)

But the last time bullets were flyin', you were Absent Without Leave. (Aww! You're sure to fall.)

You sent our soldiers out to die, you left their families to bear the burden.

How many dollars per body, does that make for Halliburton?

 

Will Cheney like you if you help him make more money?

Karl Rove make you a kinder, gentler killer? Man, ____that guy's a honey!

Will Wolfowitz pretend to be your intellectual equal

If you make Iraq a wasteland, with Syria for a sequel?

When you're napping at eleven will your slumber be less fitful

Knowing John Ashcroft is on the job, that precious little pitbull.

Was it Rice or Rumsfeld Powell or Perle or Kristol with his pistol

Who said "We can bring the Rapture just a little bit faster!"

 

I can't understand your reasons ‚ is it hate or lust or greed? (You're sure to fall.)

But it surely looks like treason (You're sure to fall.)

Do you offer war unending, Homeland Insecurity, and freedoms deadened?

Jesus says "I wouldn't choose a punk like you if it were time for Armaggedon."

 

So ya think that throwin' your weight around is the way to save the world? (You're sure to fall.)

Folks are starting to come up with more lyrics. From Andrew Dipper:

Just what part of do not kill don't you really understand
The great nation you destroy will turn out to be nothing other than your own land
You think that you're the rider on the white horse
but you're the Whore of Babylon carrying Rumsfeld's curse

Got a few couplets you've been wanting to get off your chest? Send 'em in!
