It’s a classic game
Of bait ‘n switch
Do ya want less government
Or just more rich
It’s hard to tell
Which is which
You pusillanimous
*******

Mission accomplished
Not so fast
Cos we’re still in Iraq
You stupid ***
How many flags
Have to fly half mast
Before you admit
That you had us all gassed

Nothing with you is
As it appears
We’re still in Iraq
After all of these years
We’re still losing lives
And still shedding tears
Which serves to confirm
All of our worst fears

So you got Saddam
And now he’s done
But the world’s full of bad guys
Count yourself as one
While you’re nation building
We’re not having fun
You bring the war clouds
And we want the sun

Nothing with you is
As it appears
We’re still in Iraq
After all of these years
We’re still losing lives
And still shedding tears
Which serves to confirm
All of our worst fears

The American people
Gave you their trust
Then what did you do
Why you spied on us
You’re waging a war
That no one can win
But that hasn’t stopped you
From giving us spin
It’s a classic game
Of bait ‘n switch
And you get high marks
From those you’ve enriched
