The Lyrics
Could it possibly be that the Axis of Evil is just...misunderstood? Who knows? Written prior to the conclusion of the trial of Saddam Hussein.
We've been driving around
From one embassy down to another and back
But no one's ever liked us (No one's ever liked us)
Renouncing Western cultural ways (blindly following is clichéd)
And most of the beliefs of the day
We're the axis of evil
Saddam, Nasrallah, Ahmadinejad, and Kim Jong Il
And they wouldn't lift our sanctions anyway
So I think we're supposed to bomb them night and day
Half-believing what the Republicans say
That we hate you guys
Maybe when your lies permeate the UN
We're the axis of evil
Saddam, Nasrallah, Ahmadinejad, and Kim Jong Il
The pressure from Christians is beating down
And making rifts from unfound crazy rumors of terror plots
In the Mideast and Asia (No one's ever liked us)
The countries where we vehemently reign (And no one's ever witnessed our nuclear programs)
The land where we quite visibly rule
As the axis of evil
Saddam, Nasrallah, Ahmadinejad, and Kim Jong Il
SADDAM:
This is my last smoking gun
I'm going to split it up so it looks like we all have none
Except for Ahmadinejad who says my capture made me look like some homeless person
Hey, Ahmadinejad,
I'm an evil dictator
Saddam, Nasrallah, Ahmadinejad, and Kim Jong Il
KJI:
Hey man, I thought that you were hanged
I thought you broke the law
SADDAM:
No, man, I've been right here this whole time funding Hezbollah
For the axis of evil (We're the axis of evil)
Saddam, Nasrallah, Ahmadinejad
Saddam, Nasrallah, Ahmadinejad, and Kim Jong Il
We're the axis of evil
Saddam, Nasrallah, Ahmadinejad, and Kim Jong Il
We're the axis of evil
Saddam, Nasrallah, Ahmadinejad, and Kim Jong Il
From one embassy down to another and back
But no one's ever liked us (No one's ever liked us)
Renouncing Western cultural ways (blindly following is clichéd)
And most of the beliefs of the day
We're the axis of evil
Saddam, Nasrallah, Ahmadinejad, and Kim Jong Il
And they wouldn't lift our sanctions anyway
So I think we're supposed to bomb them night and day
Half-believing what the Republicans say
