The Lyrics
I hear the guards a comin', they've come for me again
They're gonna pose for pictures with my bare butt end
I'm stuck at Abu Ghraib, where torture's goin' on.
I'm layin' in feces, and I got no clothes on
They piled us all up naked, they did it just for fun
And then they took some snap shots, and they held up their thumbs
A man named al-Jamadi, was beaten and died
Well now I just took a beatin', now I got two black eyes
It was an awful beatin', they beat me 'till I saw stars
They beat my arms and my legs, that's gonna leave some scars
A girl had me on a dog leash, 'twas Pfc. Lynndie
It was so humiliatin', and that's what tortures me
One time they took us from our jail cells, and they stood us in a line,
Lynndie pointed at my weenie and she gave the thumbs up sign.
Far from Abu Ghraib, I'd like to get away
But there's a bag on my head, so I'm here to stay.
They're gonna pose for pictures with my bare butt end
I'm stuck at Abu Ghraib, where torture's goin' on.
I'm layin' in feces, and I got no clothes on
They piled us all up naked, they did it just for fun
And then they took some snap shots, and they held up their thumbs
A man named al-Jamadi, was beaten and died
Well now I just took a beatin', now I got two black eyes
It was an awful beatin', they beat me 'till I saw stars
They beat my arms and my legs, that's gonna leave some scars
A girl had me on a dog leash, 'twas Pfc. Lynndie
It was so humiliatin', and that's what tortures me
One time they took us from our jail cells, and they stood us in a line,
Lynndie pointed at my weenie and she gave the thumbs up sign.
Far from Abu Ghraib, I'd like to get away
But there's a bag on my head, so I'm here to stay.

Well the thing that comes to my mind is, he's got a bag over his head, instead of his head in a bag...............................
Ah, the joys of Dubya's war. Of course, it's probably all Newsweek's fault - am I the only person who thinks Newsweek was set up by the administration? Thought there were a few pacing glitches, though I may be wrong. But the ugliness of the story should not be overlooked and I liked the original song as the backdrop for the idea.
Meaningful and well written..
"Mr. Trebor": Very funny of you, I must say......good answer and good turn around.
Orailgap: I'm sorry, I missed the humor in your post - was there any? Of course it's Bush's fault and you are the only person who thinks the administration was set up by Newsweek. If you don't believe that such actions actually happened, you're terribly naive, a republican or both.
