War Inside My Brain 2003

George W.Bush's brain.
Hey! There's a war going on inside my brain.
Bombs are dropping, bullets fying.
When does it stop? 
Saddam Hussein's in prison now.
When does he get out? 
Next week? 
Is the war really over? 
Do I cry now? Or next year? 

People are dying now, every day in Iraq.
And he says the war is over.
He says Iraq's going to be a Democracy.
Is it really? 
Hey! There's a war going on inside my brain..
Is it reality? Or just a myth? 
Is this poetry? Or just a statement? 

George W.Bush! Should I pull out of Iraq? 
Or should I stay? 
There's a war going on inside my brain.

What's next Vietnam?

Think About It-Laugh For The Day! The federal government,which has "Tomahawk" cruise missiles and "Apache", Blackhawk," "Kiowa"and"Lakota"helicopters-and use the code name "Geronimo"in the attack that killed Osama Bin Laden,officially objects to the name of Washington Redskins. Really?
