The Lyrics
Now He's Beleaguered
We got Dubya; he believed in fairy tales
Told to him by Ahmed Chalabi:
The thug was out to get him;
That's the way it seemed.
His appointments were in on the schemes.
Shock and awe a waste, and how he's beleaguered.
Not a trace of nukes did he find.
And he's stuck-yes, he's beleaguered;
He couldn't leave there if he tried.
He thought victory was just a given thing.
Seems the more he spent, the worse it got.
Still he keeps on tryin',
Though his quest's in vain.
He had few allies; then out pulled Spain.
Shock and awe a waste, and how he's beleaguered.
Not a trace of nukes did he find.
And he's stuck-yes, he's beleaguered;
He couldn't leave there if he tried.
We got Dubya; he believed in fairy tales
Told to him by Ahmed Chalabi:
The thug was out to get him;
That's the way it seemed.
His appointments were in on the schemes.
Shock and awe a waste, and how he's beleaguered.
Not a trace of nukes did he find.
And he's stuck-yes, he's beleaguered;
He couldn't leave there if he tried.
He thought victory was just a given thing.
Seems the more he spent, the worse it got.
Still he keeps on tryin',
Though his quest's in vain.
He had few allies; then out pulled Spain.
Shock and awe a waste, and how he's beleaguered.
Not a trace of nukes did he find.
And he's stuck-yes, he's beleaguered;
He couldn't leave there if he tried.

Well done!
*hums the tune* Then I read this song.... A 5 receiver....
John - Sad, but true. 5's - It we didn't have to deal with the reality of this mess I could laugh at the irony of the con man being out-conned by another con man. It wasn't like it was a secret that Chalabi was full of sh*t. They guy hadn't lived in Iraq in FORTY-FIVE YEARS. He was freaking 13 YEARS OLD then. But people are dying and there are no laughs from me about that. Good job.
You forgot to repeat the first verse, but other than that... Then again, if there's anything the Bushies prove it's that, "Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it." (George Santayana) And, "Those who fail to learn it properly, why, they are simply doomed." (Matt Kiene, for "Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda")
