"Iraq and Iran" Parody of John Cougar Mellencamp's "Jack and Diane"

IRAQ AND IRAN
Parody of John Cougar Mellencamp's "Jack and Diane"(Mellencamp)
Lyrics by Mike Agrelius

PERFORMED BY ROBERT LUND
From the CD Politicked Off!

Little ditty 'bout Iraq and Iran
Two wacky nations full of oil and sand
Iraq's got no leader and no movie stars
Iran's got camels and three or four cars

Suckin' firepower from the Marines
Iraq's lookin' for those WMDs
Dubya says, Osama, come out, if ya please
Bin Laden says, No thanks, I like what's between my knees

Oh yeah, strife goes on
Long after Schwarzkopf and Bush One are gone
Oh yeah, strife goes on
Long after Saddam and his palaces are gone

Hillary sits back, at least for the moment
Scratches her head and does her best Howard Dean
"We'll sit down and talk - or maybe we’ll bomb them"
Barack can't decide to be sweet or mean

Oh yeah, life goes on
Long after the politics and rhetoric are gone
Oh yeah, I say, life goes on
Long after the elections and media are gone

So let it rock, let it roll
War is hell and it's out of control
Hold onto freedom as long as you can
Changes are comin' real soon we just can't understand

Oh yeah, life goes on
Long after the terrorists and the idiots are gone
Oh yeah, I say, life goes on
Long after the blue and red politicians are gone

Little ditty 'bout Iraq and Iran
And the American military doin' the best it can
