Petraeus Songs

"Hey Congress You'll Betray Us if You Listen to Petraeus!"
"Generals Lie, Soldiers Die!"
"Stealing oil can't be legalized. War criminals must be penalized."

PETRAEUS!
The most beautiful sound we ever heard:
Petraeus, Petraeus, Petraeus, Petraeus.
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word:
Petraeus, Petraeus, Petraeus, Petraeus, Petraeus, Petraeus.
Petraeus, We've just met a boy named Petraeus,
and suddenly the war will never be the same you see.
Petraeus! We've just kissed the ass of Petraeus.
And suddenly we've found how wonderful a lie can be.
Petraeus, we believe everything he's saying.
And our bleeting sounds almost like braying,
Betray us, we never stop saying: "Betray us!"

HEY CONGRESS!
What have we got to do to make you hear us?
What have we got to do to make you care?
Why do you listen to Petraeus?
Like WMDs, his progress is not there.
What do we do to stop this madness?
What have we got to do to be heard?
What will you say when it's all over,
And sorry seems to be the hardest word?
It's sad, so sad,
It's a sad, sad situation.
And it's getting more and more absurd.
It's sad, so sad.
Why can't we talk it over?
Congress, don't you see
That sorry's gonna be the hardest word?

LIKE A CROCK
Stood there boldly
Sweatin in the lights
Felt like a general
Felt like mister right
The end of summer
He'd never felt that strong
Like a crock
He was lying
Didnt have a care
Soldiers dying
There were plenty still to spare
But he was mean and
He'd kill you on a dare
Like a crock
His hands were steady
His eyes were clear and bright
His lies had purpose
His answers quick and light
And he held firmly
To what Bush said was right
Like a crock
Like a crock, he was full as he could be
Like a crock, too self-worshipping was he
Like a crock, his lies were plain to see
Like a crock
And he stood arrow straight
Unencumbered by the truth
In league with hustlers and their schemes
He stood proud, he stood royal
He said it was his oil
He still believed in his dreams
Four long years now
Where'd they go?
Four thousand soldiers
He doesn't know
He sits and he wonders sometimes
Where they've gone
What a crock

TELL ME LIES
If I could turn the page
In time then I'd rearrange a benchmark or two
Close my, close my, close my eyes
But I couldn't find a way
So I'll settle for one day to believe in you
Tell me, tell me, tell me lies
Tell me lies
Tell me Dick Cheney's lies
(tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)
Oh, no, no you cant disguise
(you cant disguise, no you cant disguise)
Tell me lies
Tell me Dick Cheney's lies
Although I'm against the war
I hope that you understand what I need you for
I can't act without your lies
Never call me soft
I say just let Fox News try
Tell me, tell me, tell me lies
Tell me lies
Tell me Dick Cheney's lies
(tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)
Oh, no, no you cant disguise
(you cant disguise, no you cant disguise)
Tell me lies
Tell me Dick Cheney's lies
