Lyrics
Did You REALLY Think There Were WMDs?
the Neocon said to the Cowboy "there's a war shortage goin' on
you need a little shock n' awe now n' then--helps the economy along
and just because you're another power hungry Texas cowboy droppin' bombs
don't mean this will turn out to be another Viet Nam " (famous last words)
it's slam dunk
but did you really think there were gonna be WMD's?
tell me did you really think there were gonna be WMD's?
I got a little story I'd like to tell ya
got some Enron stock I'd like to sell ya
if you really thought you were gonna find WMD's
Cowboy says to the Neocon "let's crusade and democratize 'em
blow up their altars and bomb their zoos, hey that will civilize 'em
and you can gag me with a pretzel if this ain't just what I do
and we might as well Gitmoize 'em before we get through"
But did you really think there were gonna be WMDs?
and do you think that the moon is made out of green cheese?
I got a scheme that will make you lots of dough
I got a little herbal pill that will make you grow
If you really thought there were gonna be WMDs
now it seems the whole world hates us
this is a much more dangerous place
and Osama just had another birthday
he's a laughin' in your face--
because if you thought there were gonna be WMDs
and Hussein had the power bring us to our knees--
then pose for me baby I'm a talent scout
I got a Nigerian bank account--you could help me out
If you really thought there were gonna be WMDs
and if you really thought there were gonna be WMDs
and balsa wood drones were gonna bomb us from across the seas
and global warming is an exaggeration?
well you can fly me to an undisclosed location
if you really thought there were gonna be WMDs
but I don't believe you ever really thought that there were any
I think that you and the CIA
were just givin' us the SOS
while you were LOL
about the lack of any WMDs.
