When Hans Blix simply couldn’t find
the threat claimed by the CIA,
George ‘Dubya’ Bush thought ‘never mind
I’ll bomb the bastards anyway.
 
My destiny I must fulfil,
for Resolutions I can’t wait.
Saddam Hussein I’m gonna kill
and neutralise his sovereign state.
 
I know a puppy who will back
a lawless war upon Iraq.
Vainglorious and, quite frankly, dim,
I’ll only have to flatter him
 
and let him think that he can be
a Sundance to my Cassidy.
And, though I know the threat is phoney
that won’t bother Teflon Tony.
 
This imbecile’s so keen to please
I’ll tell him “Lie to your MPs
and over me I’ll let you fawn
while walking on the White House lawn.
 
The British public will protest
but you know that it’s for the best,
and with doe-eyes on BBC
you can exude 'sincerity'.
 
Say it wouldn’t take an hour
for there to be a missile shower.
That’s the stuff the public likes
to justify pre-emptive strikes”.
