The Lyrics
(instrumental intro)
Bush's buddies can taste defeat.
War makes them nervous (Vietnam repeat).
Must spin the news, or Shrub gets beat.
Can his war plans survive the heat?
On war footin'...
On war footin'...
On war footin'...
On war footin'.
The Grand Old Party has gone far right.
Oil war folly; they lied to fight.
Debate was rigged by Shrub's sneaky crew.
'Cause war advanced the neocon view.
On war footin'...
On war footin'...
On war footin'...
On war footin'.
'Cause Bush's pals goad Iraq's mess on.
To firms like Brown & Root, contracts gone.
Our soldiers used and then thrown away
To back up Bush on Election Day.
On war footin'...
On war footin'...
On war footin'...
On war footin'.
(instrumental break)
Bush said to Cheney, "What should I do?
War of attrition, at Condition 2."
Dick told Shrub, "Hey, listen, you!
War is our mission to protect our coup."
On war footin'...
On war footin'...
On war footin'...
On war footin'.
On war footin'...
On war footin'...
On war footin'...
On war footin'.
(repeat refrain and fade)
Bush's buddies can taste defeat.
War makes them nervous (Vietnam repeat).
Must spin the news, or Shrub gets beat.
Can his war plans survive the heat?
On war footin'...
On war footin'...
On war footin'...
On war footin'.
The Grand Old Party has gone far right.
Oil war folly; they lied to fight.

'Cause war advanced the neocon view.
On war footin'...
On war footin'...
On war footin'...
On war footin'.
'Cause Bush's pals goad Iraq's mess on.
To firms like Brown & Root, contracts gone.

To back up Bush on Election Day.

On war footin'...
