When the lines were cut, you worked by candlelight.
A leader out of sight,
You were a guest in town.
You guffawed at Wolfowitz and Richard Perle.
You counted on the world;
That's when you learned it let you down.
(Did you feel like Jesus?)
Did you realize
That you were a Stalin in their eyes?

All the city streets were laced with Fedayeen,
But on came the Marines.
Every grunt stopped to pose at your billion-dollar palace home.
Every aircraft had your restaurant on the map,
And where you took a nap.
You go on T.V. on a dare and you go it alone.
(Could you live forever?)
Could you see the day -
Could you feel your junta fall apart and fade away?

Get along -
Get along Saddam Hussein.
Get along Saddam Hussein.

Now your Party has all left you in the red.
Your high rent friends are dead.
This life can be very strange.
All those Ba'ath freaks who used to wear berets,
They've joined the human race - some things will never change.
(Son you were mistaken.)
You are obsolete.
Look at all the Anglos in Tikrit.

Get along -
Get along Saddam Hussein.
Get along Saddam Hussein.

"Clean this mess up else we'll all be in the Hague -
Those test tubes and the plague,
Just get it all out of here!"

"Is there gas in the car?"

"Yes there's gas in the car!"

"I think the Shiites down the street know who you are!"

(Careful what you carry)
Cause the folks are wise,
You are still an outlaw in their eyes.

Get along (Get along).
Get along Saddam Hussein (Get along).
Get along Saddam Hussein.
