George W. Told the Nation Songtext

von Tom Paxton

I got a letter from old George W.
It said "
Son, I hate to trouble ya, but this world of mine is goin bad.
It's time for me to role those dice, I know you've already been there twice, but I am sending you back to Baghdad." George W told the nation "
This is not an escalation, this is just a surge toward victory.
Just to win my little war, I'm sending 20, 000 more, to help me save Iraq from Iraquis." And so I made it to Iraq, in time for one more sneak attack, and too my old battallion I was sent.
We'd drive around in our Hum
Vs, listenin to the Black Eyed Peas, and speaking fondly of our president.
George W told the nation "
This is not an escalation, this is just a surge toward victory.
Just to win my little war, I'm sending 20, 000 more, to help me save Iraq from Iraquis." Celebrities all come to see us, grateful they don't have to be us.
Politicians play the best faced card.
Where is Bubba?
Where's our Leader?
Where's our favorite lip reader?
Awol from the Texas National Guard.
George W told the nation "
This is not an escalation, this is just a surge toward victory.
Just to win my little war, I'm sending 20, 000 more, to help me save Iraq from Iraquis." If you're hunkered in Fallujah, wondering who it was who screwed ya, wondering what became of shock and awe.
You are feelin' semi-certain, it has to do with Haliburton, Dick Chainey's why you drew that fatal straw.
George W told the nation "
This is not an escalation, this is just a surge toward victory.
Just to win my little war, I'm sending 20, 000 more, to help me save Iraq from Iraquis."
