The Lyrics

Bush's bogus oil war on Iraq has thus far cost the lives of 500 American troops
Oil war, Bush campaigns on.
Bush must go; we want him gone.
Troops dead in Iraq; it's cost 500 lives.
500 lives, 500 lives, 500 lives, 500 lives,
Thus far in Iraq, it's cost 500 lives.

The Dim Son and his crew
Lied through teeth for oil war.
Wasted 500 lives away from home.
500 lives, 500 lives, 500 lives, 500 lives,
Wasted 500 lives away from home.

Thousands hurt when attacked,
GI's wounded - who's to blame?
Bush, the Caesar of our Rome; war's his way.
War's his way, war's his way, war's his way, war's his way.
Bush, the Caesar of our Rome; war's his way.

Oil war, Bush campaigns on.
Bush must go; we want him gone.
Troops dead in Iraq; it's cost 500 lives.
500 lives, 500 lives, 500 lives, 500 lives,
Thus far in Iraq, it's cost 500 lives.
