20 Marines to the Gallon

Basra, Umm Qasr, Karbala, and Baghdad
This is the road to freedom.
Sit back America and watch your CNN
All day and all night.
Time to topple our former friend.

Collateral damage and friendly fire
Are all part of the show.
It really looks neat at night
When the rockets glow.

So eat your freedom fries and sit on your obese rears.
Let the volunteers fight this one.
I love my war footage, says every Patriot.
You go to support your troops,
But God forbid you show a breast on network tv.
Scandal! Alarm! What about our children?

I guess planes slamming into skyscrapers was okay for their eyes
Or that missile that hit a mosque.
Have no fear the Marines are here
To save the day and the price of gas.

Saddam wasn’t the puppeteer of 9-11, but was clearly a fan.
What do you expect from an ally, at least when Ronnie and George I loved him.
Time to cancel Saddam’s Show, although it had been fun,
Especially when we gave him his toys to kill Iranian young.

The blood of liberty propels my SUV
As I head to the mall to buy the newest Left Behind book.
God is on our side and He’s also with them.
This war should be entertaining, since I’m not fighting this one.
I did my part as an American; I shopped.

Sure there are no jobs and my kid can hardly read,
Crime is on the rise and veterans can fend for themselves.
At least that’s the Party’s bottom line.

But it is good to know, riding in my SUV
That it gets 20 Marines to the gallon
And Iraqis will have freedom with
Halliburton uber alles.
