Pop Goes The Eagle

eagle flying

Up and down Sadr City Road,
In and out flies the Eagle.
That's the way our money goes,
Pop goes the weasel!

A tanker truck with gasoline,
A tanker truck with diesel;
Blow it up, we'll pay the price,
Ouch, goes the Eagle!

burning tank  truck in Iraq

All around Afghanistan,
Georgie chased Bin Laden.
Al-Qaeda thought 'twas all in fun.
Pop! goes a car bomb.

Four hundred billion for the wars;
Nothing for the people.
Bend over, take it in the drawers;
Truth is, it's fecal!
