Would you go to the place you’re happy the most
And you cannot be seen up high on the coast
You turn in your key, you’re relieved of your post
And your heart that has shut it down
You scream at the ceiling, ‘this isn’t my fate
This isn’t my life - it isn’t too late’
But you cannot deny it isn’t that great
And your heart had to shut it down
Can this country’s founders take back what they wrote
When they gave me the freedom and power to vote
For a cute chimpanzee with a family of note
Unwittingly evil, in a president’s coat
Well, we couldn’t find a jury of twelve of your peers
And after gritting our teeth for seven long years
I don’t believe you can spell Iraq
I voted for you, and I’m taking it back
Do you think ‘A-rab’ is an actual word?
Do you favor the more colorful ones that I’ve heard?
Has the murder of anyone important occurred?
Is it sort of like killing a fish or a bird?
Now maybe your father is proud, and impressed,
with how you’ve made the whole world hate Americans less
But those aren’t your babies under mortar attack
I voted for you, and I’m taking it back
Look, people are dangerous everywhere
You don’t conquer a continent ‘cause some psychos live there
You haven’t made anyone any less scared\
What does your head do besides hold up your hair?
You place your recruiters in every high school,
‘cause the older kids aren’t quite as easy to fool
If you like to play ‘Halo’, you’ll love Iraq
I voted for you, and I’m taking it back
Do you think you look smarter with your eyebrows raised?
Do you think you’ll be competent one of these days?
Will ‘Don’t Mess With Texas’ be inscribed on your grave?
There aren’t many more sinister things you could say
Fourteen more months of vital duties to botch,
and I can’t do a thing, but worriedly watch
As America’s right to be proud starts to crack
I voted for you, and I’m taking it back
Well, compassion flows through you like bricks through a sieve
But you’ve given it all that you have to give
And nobody knows it’s no way to live
With a heart that has shut it down
