Iraq

Imagine the things you'll do when you're free,
when you're no longer living in fear
of appocalypse now or holocaust soon
thanks to George Bush and our Tony Blair.

And maybe you'll live, but then what kind of world
will this terrible war leave behind
when the leaders we trusted to broker the peace
show they really are out of their mind.

Just think of the things we could hope to achieve
with ninety-six billion to spend;
hell, if that's all it cost to bring peace in the East
and bring our reign of greed to an end.

So if you've ambitions to be the P.M.
as noone has done it before,
a word to the wise: if you want to make peace,
you do it
by not
making war!
