When he begins the regime, It brings back the sound of shock and awe splendor – It brings back the might of a Saddam contender – It brings back a can of worms unforseen. You took us to war, neocon stars, And found so much more that you've been downplaying, And even now seem to be praying Bush can begin the regime. You'd do it again when most would say never. You've been out of tune right from the start. Yet here we are stuck in Iraq forever And promising never, never to part. The end of the line – a terrible scene. It didn't take long to forget the freedom they'd tasted. So now when we hear people curse the chance Rummy wasted, We know all too well what they mean. So let Bush begin the regime. Let the love the world had for us remain an ember. Let it sleep like the love of peace we only remember As Bush begins the regime. Yes, he'll try to begin the regime, make them pay, Till the powers that were there before return to haunt him – Till they blow us to hell and gone because they want him, And we suddenly know the mess we're in As he begins the regime.
