The Lyrics
It's a horrible thing for democrats to have the surge working in Iraq, to have the best economy in decades, to have the lowest un-employement in decades (and to have any success in our country at all). Our failure means they "win" elections - ain't that a shame!
The surge is working in Baghdad
All the reports say
The surge is working in Baghdad
To the liberals dismay!
Can’t you hear the left wing whining
”Damn we may not lose this war!”
Can’t you hear the left wing crying
”We need the deaths to sore”
Shops open, make a deal
A carnival with ferris wheel
Children on streets now play
Kids all go to school
New hospitals are cool
New baby wings are on the way!
Liberals ‘round the country are crying
Liberals are morning I know
Liberals need failure for the war and
The death toll to quickly grow
Please lose this darn war
please lose it and fail
please lose this darn war
’cuz elections we’ve gotta nail
All the reports say
The surge is working in Baghdad
To the liberals dismay!
Can’t you hear the left wing whining
”Damn we may not lose this war!”
Can’t you hear the left wing crying
”We need the deaths to sore”
Shops open, make a deal
A carnival with ferris wheel
Children on streets now play
Kids all go to school
New hospitals are cool
New baby wings are on the way!
Liberals ‘round the country are crying
Liberals are morning I know
Liberals need failure for the war and
The death toll to quickly grow
Please lose this darn war
please lose it and fail
please lose this darn war
’cuz elections we’ve gotta nail
