The Lyrics
Satire about Halliburton, the oil services company formerly headed by Vice President Dick Cheney, now reaping billions in no-bid contracts to "reconstruct" Iraq's infrastructure destroyed by Bush-Cheney's illegal war
(instrumental intro)
Halliburton: gold mine;
Cheney's crown, crown, crown.
Halliburton: gold mine;
Stooped to shaking us down.
Halliburton: gold mine;
Cheney's crown, crown, crown.
Halliburton: gold mine;
Stooped to shaking us down.
In Iraq, troops are mourning
All their dead who are gone.
Shrub should be fired.
How long can war go on?
Halliburton: gold mine;
Cheney's crown, crown, crown.

Stooped to shaking us down.

His qWagmire now has to be spun.
