1.5 Trillion

(to the tune of 16 tons, by Karlo Travis)
I woke up one morning feeling all fine
Headed out the door to the recruitin’ line
Don’t want dem ‘raqis attackin’ our home now, do ya
So I set up my tent in the town of Falluja

(Chorus:)
You pay 1.5 tril, whadaya get?
A couple years older and deeper in debt
Mr. Limbaugh don't you call me cause as you should know
I’m deep in dept till 3004.

This is a fine fine place full of sun & games
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised on rightwing radio and Fox News rants
When I hear Rush talk I feel a rise in my pants

(Repeat Chorus)

See us a comin' better step aside
A lot of kids didn't and a lot of them will die
We got DU shells and cluster bombs that kill
If the weapons don’t kill ‘em then the civil war will

(Repeat Chorus)

I woke up one morning feeling all fine
Today it be the day I leave Baghdad behind
Headed back to my country where I’ll make my stand
Just a one-legged man in a blinded land

At least by 3004, our alien overlords might forgive our debts before serving us for dinner . . .

As long as they don't give us the ancient American water torture before serving us for dinner, I won't mind.

That's the problem.

It's like Kucinich said:

You tell people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, and then you steal their boots!
