Why Can't I Decide?
Being sung by Bushie to Cole Porter's
"Why Can't You Behave?"
(… After all the things you've told me)

Why can't I decide?
Or, like Dick Cheney, hide?
After all that Karen's told me
About the other side,
Oh, why can't I decide?

Why can't I be brave?
Why am I Cheney's slave?
So we're in Iraq forever,
And someone suspects we lied –
Oh, why can't I decide?

Why don't things look good?
We've always knocked on wood,
Then prayed this would soon blow over
And not be intensified.
So, why must I decide?

I've a so-called "ranch" – well, it is out-of-town –
Where I flee when I'm supposed to knuckle down,
Yet with years to mull this over,
I still get so teary-eyed –
Oh, why can't I decide?
