If You're Happy And You Know It Bomb Iraq


If You're Happy And You Know It Bomb Iraq
By John Robbins


If you cannot find Osama, bomb Iraq.
If the markets are a drama, bomb Iraq.
If the terrorists are frisky,
Pakistan is looking shifty,
North Korea is too risky,
Bomb Iraq.

If we have no allies with us, bomb Iraq.
If we think that someone's dissed us, bomb Iraq.
So to hell with the inspections,
Let's look tough for the elections,
Close your mind and take directions,
Bomb Iraq.

It's pre-emptive non-aggression, bomb Iraq.
To prevent this mass destruction, bomb Iraq.
They've got weapons we can't see,
And that's all the proof we need,
If they're not there, they must be there,
Bomb Iraq.

If you never were elected, bomb Iraq.
If your mood is quite dejected, bomb Iraq.
If you think Saddam's gone mad,
With the weapons that he had,
And he tried to kill your dad,
Bomb Iraq.

If corporate fraud is growin', bomb Iraq.
If your ties to it are showin', bomb Iraq.
If your politics are sleazy,
And hiding that ain't easy,
And your manhood's getting queasy,
Bomb Iraq.

Fall in line and follow orders, bomb Iraq.
For our might knows not our borders, bomb Iraq.
Disagree? We'll call it treason,
Let's make war not love this season,
Even if we have no reason,
Bomb Iraq.

Quick addendum: I paid more attention to Smallville than I did to the State of the Union (even Ken Biller can't disgust me as much as Bush's domestic agenda). Without giving anything away, let me just say: you know the thing we all got to see everyone do in the various flashback-speculation? I really, really wanted to get to see Martha do it, too. It was refreshing to watch Jonathan, Lex, the sheriff, etc. get their turns, even if most of them weren't real, but seeing Martha do it would have been fantastic. And she has as much motive as Jonathan.
