50 Way To Leave Iraq

Bush Abandons Phrase 'Stay the Course' on Iraq


The problem is all inside your head, he said to me
The answers easy if you take it logically
We had to help them in their struggle to be free
But election time is here and now I see
There must be fifty ways to leave Iraq

Fifty ways to leave Iraq

He said, its really not my habit to intrude
But Saddam Hussein was one really scary dude
The voters did not react with gratitude
So now I'm in a different mood

There must be fifty ways to leave Iraq

We'll just slip out the back, Jack
We'll make a new plan, Stan
We don't need to be coy, Roy
Now that the voters disagree,
We'll hop on the bus, Gus
We don't need to discuss much
We'll just drop off the key, Lee
Got an election coming up, you see

He said the drop in numbers gives me such a pain
I wish there was something I could do to make them rise again
I know, we'll change our course and let Iraq take all the blame
(For the mess we have made)

He said I tried to blame my problems on the Democrats
And I'm surprised to find the people saw through all of that
I then decided that I must change course and find another tact
There must be fifty ways to leave Iraq
Fifty ways to leave Iraq

Just slip out the back, Jack
We'll make a new plan, Stan
We don't need to be coy, Roy
Now that the voters disagree

Hop on the bus, Gus
We don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
Got an election coming up, you see

We'll just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
We don't need to be coy, Roy
Now that the voters disagree

We'll just hop on the bus, Gus
We don't need to discuss much
We'll just drop off the key, Lee
Got to get ourselves reelected, you see
