Little Georgey junior was his daddies favourite son
He followed in to politics for president he ran
And after some shenanigans the election it was won
He vowed to spread democracy at the barrel of a gun
Wise men'll tell ya fools go rushing in
And fools'll tell ya wise men made them do it
And a this world goes spinning to an end
The wise men wring their hands and say they knew it
And we're the fools 'cause we let 'em do it
Samir's teacher told him "son if you give up your life
You can live forever up with God in paradise
With all those extra virgin's you won't ever need a wife"
And so the verging on ridiculous was planted in his mind
Wise men'll tell ya fools go rushing in ....
Teflon Tony was a man of principles they said
But these were soon diluted by the voices in his head
The voices came from foreign shores with Georgey at the helm
Lets go to war lets bring that old bugger Saddam down
Georgey, Tony, Samir, people can't you see
All of our blood's red when it's set free
All of our blood's red when it's set free
Jackie was a soldier, was a top man in his day
When civilians were collateral and just got in the way
And though the war was over he still taught his sons to hate
And so for some the war ain't done
It'll never go away
