(instrumental intro)

Get off my back; torture scandal, I'm in trouble!
(Hey, all, get off of Rummy's back!)
Couldn't see it comin', and I put Bush in a bubble.
(Hey, all, get off of Rummy's back!)

I'm accused of lies and spin that's untrue.
(Hey, all, get off of Rummy's back!)
So, look out now, more bad pictures comin' through.
(Hey, all, get off of Rummy's back!)

Hey, Bush knows that we've been tryin'
Hard to show that we're not lyin'.

Torture's gone on for a long time.
(Hey, all, get off of Rummy's back!)
Won't go back; everything's on the line
(Hey, all, get off of Rummy's back!)

I said I was sorry; my excuse is worn.
(Hey, all, get off of Rummy's back!)
'Cause this scandal's big; and it's lasting long.
(Hey, all, get off of Rummy's back!)

Hell, I know we could be beaten.
Now, it's crow I will be eatin'.
This scandal stinks; must relieve it with more lies.
What's our big plan now? Can't we cut this down to size?
Wait for me!

Get off my back! What's gonna save my reputation?
(Hey, all, get off of Rummy's back!)
And if I'm through, I'll have to take a long vacation.
(Hey, all, get off of Rummy's back!)

Hey! I didn't see this comin'.
How'd this scandal start out runnin'?!

(instrumental break)

Wait for me!

(fade with...)
Get off my back! What's gonna save my reputation?
(Hey, all, get off of Rummy's back!)
And if I'm through, I'll have to take a long vacation.
(Hey, all, get off of Rummy's back!)
