Iraq Again (With the Beach Boys)

Well I've been thinking 'bout all the people we've shot and bombed, and all the dummies we tricked and conned. With a dictator we made so scary, armed with weapons imaginary.

"Do It Again"

It's automatic when I
Talk with neo-cons
The conversation turns to
Invasions we used to spawn
When we were greeted as liberators
And tortured Iraqi perpetrators
And the Green Zone
Was the place to go

Mission Accomplished on
The Carrier Lincoln
Wolfowitz and Cheney
And imbecilic thinkin'
Waterboarding in scorching weather
Let's get together
And do it again

Dit...Dit...Dit..a Dit--Bomb Iraq
Dit...Dit...Dit..a Dit--Bomb Iran
Dum...Dum...Dum..di..Dum--Just Attack
Dum...Dee...Do...Ron--Have no plan

This time we won't be so loony
To confuse Shia with Sunni

Been so long

(Hey now hey now hey now hey now hey now)
(Hey now hey now hey now hey now hey now)

Well I've been thinking 'bout
All the people we've shot and bombed
And all the dummies we tricked and conned
With a dictator we made so scary
Armed with weapons imaginary

So having now engendered ISIS
We have ourselves another crisis
And a Carson, Trump or a Cruz
May swagger, strut, bluster and choose

To get back together and do it again

Dit...Dit...Dit...a..Dit--Bomb Iran
Dit...Dit...Dit..a..Dit--Bomb Iraq
Dum...Dum...Dum..di..Dum--Be a Man
Dum...Dee...Do...Ron--And Maniac
