Don't ask me I don't give a damn, next stop is to kill Saddam.

And it's five, six, seven, open up the...

What? Saddam is dead and it had nothing to do with him in the first place?!?

Er..Let's continue anyway:

Come on generals, let's move fast
your big chance has come at last
now you can go out and get that oil
cos the only good arab is the one that's dead and
you know that peace can only be won when we've
blown 'em all to kingdom come

Come on wall street don't be slow
why man this war is a go-go
there's plenty good money to be made by
supplying the army with the tools of its trade
let's hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,
they drop it on the arab moms

Come on mothers throughout the land
pack your boys off to arab land
come on fathers don't hesitate
send your sons off before it's too late
and you can be the first ones on your block
to have your boy come home in a box
...

That song is still so relevant today that

I only had to change a few words here and there.

Gee,The more things change, the more they stay the same damn it.
