The Lyrics
As sung by pResident Bush:
(instrumental intro)
Look what Saddam's done to me.
Gambled on war, that's my bet.
I have to make my case to all the world:
That Saddam, not me, is the threat...
Believe me or not -
Don't have to be fair.
Though North Korea has nukes, I'll let them be.
Iraq must pay, because oil is there.
Hypocrisy? Believe me, that's how it will be.
(brief instrumental break)
Looks like the right wing got its way.
They all tell me what to do.
Daddy's old cronies on top of the world,
Makin' all their war wishes come true...
Believe me or not.
Don't have to be fair.
Though North Korea has nukes, I'll let them be.
Iraq must pay, because oil is there.
Hypocrisy? Believe me, that's how it will be...
(bridge)
I just don't know what to do...
Look at me... don't have a clue...
(sung during instrumental break)
Believe me or not...
Believe me or not...
Believe me or not...
Believe me or not...
Believe me or not.
Don't have to be fair.
Though North Korea has nukes, I'll let them be.
Iraq must pay, because oil is there.
Hypocrisy? Believe me, that's how it will be...
Look what Saddam's done to me.
Gambled on war, that's my bet.
I have to make my case to all the world:
That Saddam, not me, is the threat...
Believe me or not -
Don't have to be fair.
Though North Korea has nukes, I'll let them be.
Iraq must pay, because oil is there.
Hypocrisy? Believe me, that's how it will be.

(sung during instrumental break)

Believe me or not...
Believe me or not...
Believe me or not...
Believe me or not.
Don't have to be fair.

Iraq must pay, because oil is there.
Hypocrisy? Believe me, that's how it will be...
