George W. Told the Nation - Tom Paxton

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Tom Paxton
[00:04.420]I got a letter from old George W.
[00:06.174]It said "Son, I hate to trouble ya,
[00:08.169]but this war of mine is goin bad.
[00:12.170]It's time for me to role those dice,
[00:14.417]I know you've already been there twice,
[00:16.418]but I am sending you back to Baghdad."
[00:20.673]George W told the nation
[00:22.673]"This is not an escalation,
[00:24.676]this is just a surge toward victory.
[00:28.929]Just to win my little war,
[00:30.915]I'm sending 20, 000 more,
[00:32.922]to help me save Iraq from Iraquis."
[00:38.914]And so I made it to Iraq,
[00:41.164]in time for one more sneak attack,
[00:43.418]and too my old battallion I was sent.
[00:47.421]We'd drive around in our Humvees,
[00:49.676]listening to the Black Eyed Peas,
[00:51.673]and speaking fondly of our president.
[00:55.935]George W told the nation
[00:57.925]"This is not an escalation,
[00:59.919]this is just a surge toward victory.
[01:04.164]Just to win my little war,
[01:06.172]I'm sending 20, 000 more,
[01:08.188]to help me save Iraq from Iraquis."
[01:14.427]Celebrities all come to see us,
[01:16.677]grateful they don't have to be us.
[01:18.675]Politicians play the best faced card.
[01:22.921]Where is Bubba?
[01:24.167]Where's our Leader?
[01:25.177]Where's our favorite lip reader?
[01:27.420]Awol from the Texas National Guard.
[01:31.667]George W told the nation
[01:33.665]"This is not an escalation,
[01:35.661]this is just a surge toward victory.
[01:39.668]Just to win my little war,
[01:41.664]I'm sending 20, 000 more,
[01:43.920]to help me save Iraq from Iraquis."
[01:50.174]If you're hunkered in Fallujah,
[01:52.416]wondering who it was who screwed ya,
[01:54.421]wondering what became of shock and awe.
[01:58.419]You are feelin' semi-certain,
[02:00.670]it has to do with Haliburton,
[02:02.675]Dick Chainey's why you drew that fatal straw.
[02:06.920]But, George W told the nation
[02:08.921]"This is not an escalation,
[02:11.175]this is just a surge toward victory.
[02:15.416]Just to win my little war,
[02:17.167]I'm sending 20, 000 more,
[02:19.421]to help me save Iraq from Iraquis."
