Why Couldn’t We Blow Up Saddam? Lyrics by Austin Lounge Lizards

Strange Noises in the Dark

2003

Oh, we busted his bunkers and blew up his palaces
Fired and we fired 'til our fingers got calluses
Why, Lord, I ask in the final analysis
Couldn't we blow up Saddam?
He's in league with the devil; good lord, he is evil
He dances with death like old Evel Knievel
He's tougher to crush than a Texas bull weevil
Why couldn't we blow up Saddam?
Once, when we loved him and called him our friend
We helped him in every endeavor
When he gassed the Kurds and invaded Iran
We thought him so spunky and clever
Now the battle is won and the British might knight me
The oil, it is ours and the French can go bite me
Victory's sweet; alas, something's not right
Why couldn't we blow up Saddam?
We bombed and we bombed ol' Osama Bin Laden
Our generals all swore that we had him
When he slithered away, I said, "Never again"
Now dammit, it's happened with Saddam
(Badda boom, badda bing, badda bam)
The Russians and Germans all mock us and hoot us
'Cause the nukes and the gas and the germs still elude us
Lord, tell where they're at because we remain clueless
And then help us blow up Saddam
Why couldn't we blow up Saddam?
