The Lyrics

The Iraq QWagmire and depressed economy drags on, despite Karl Rove's best efforts to ensure Bush's re-election as War Time pResident
(instrumental intro)

Shady Rove props up the Shrub.
Shady Rove is dreamin'.
Shady Rove props up the Shrub.
War's blowin' back his schemin'.

Reached Baghdad by summertime,
But Iraq won't fall.
Our troops can't win this war for Shrub,
War won't help him at all.

Shady Rove props up the Shrub.
Shady Rove is dreamin'.
Shady Rove props up the Shrub.
War's blowin' back his schemin'.

Weeks dragged on, as the death toll rose.
Spies from our CIA frown.
Neocons snarlin' from the start.
Bush's polls keep going down.

Shady Rove props up the Shrub.
Shady Rove is dreamin'.
Shady Rove props up the Shrub.
War's blowin' back his schemin'.

Lies abound from petty little Shrub.
Lies abound; war-crazy.
Lies abound from petty little Shrub.
While our troops push up daisies.

Shady Rove props up the Shrub.
Shady Rove is dreamin'.
Shady Rove props up the Shrub.
War's blowin' back his schemin'.

Shrub stoked fear, and beat up on France.
Shrub stoked fear to carry.
Shrub stoked fear, and beat up on France.
His regime we'll soon bury.

Shady Rove props up the Shrub.
Shady Rove is dreamin'.
Shady Rove props up the Shrub.
War's blowin' back his schemin'.
