The Lyrics

Dubya's pack of lies told to sell his war on Iraq is now being spun by his handlers as "sixteen words"
(instrumental intro)

Some people say his mind is made out of crud.
Through war, Bush slayed; traded oil for blood.
Oil for blood, a war that's long;
For reasons weak; an attack that's wrong.

He sold "16 words" - what did we get?
A warmonger bolder, who feels no regret.
No "leader" do we call him, 'cause Bush did toil
To sell his soul just to steal Iraq's oil.

Bush was warned 'gainst warring by the world this time.
His bullsh*t was shoveled, to make his polls climb.
He sold us "16 words" just to get his goal.
His Big Oil boss said, "We own your soul."

He sold "16 words" - what did we get?
A warmonger bolder, who feels no regret.
No "leader" do we call him, 'cause Bush did toil
To sell his soul just to steal Iraq's oil.

Now the world is mourning, Iraq's set aflame.
Fightin' and trouble in Iraq; who's to blame?
The press praised his hubris and encouraged his lyin',
The Far Right-owned moron still will cause more dyin'.

He sold "16 words" - what did we get?
A warmonger bolder, who feels no regret.
No "leader" do we call him, 'cause Bush did toil
To sell his soul just to steal Iraq's oil.

His war drum's still drummin' - sheeple step in stride.
Bush kept the truth hidden; a lot of men died.
Insisted that "Saddam's nuke weapons" were real;
Oil, the right wing junta just wanted to steal.

He sold "16 words" - what did we get?
A warmonger bolder, who feels no regret.
No "leader" do we call him, 'cause Bush did toil...
To sell his soul just to steal Iraq's oil.
