Lyrics by Adam Stanley, music written by Adam Stanley and Omeed Tabrizi circa 2004.

lyrics

one thousand-plus soldiers are dead in iraq
because our stupid president told them to attack
fighting bravely overseas for a lost cause
this kinda president should be against the law

our brothers and our sisters are killing people now
our sons and our daughters are showing us how
a president can screw up big and get away with it
we need to dig an impeachment pit

[chorus:]
1000 dead
it makes no sense to me
how much more stupid could a president be?
we need to open up our eyes
and look at what we've done
it won't be long until iraq is not the only one

the bush administration has been lying to your face
not to mention that he cheated
in the presidential race
he told us that saddam hussein
was planning an attack
and so, based on a lie we went to war with iraq

saddam hussein had nothing to
do with what we saw, on september eleventh
as we dropped our jaws
he didn't want to kill us and he didn't really care
but still we sanctioned him for weapons
that were never there

[chorus]
[instrumental]

one thousand-plus soldiers are dead in iraq
because our stupid president told them to attack
fighting bravely overseas for a lost cause
this kinda president should be against the law

our brothers and our sisters are killing people now
our sons and our daughters are showing us how
a president can screw up big and get away with it
we need to dig an impeachment pit

[chorus 2x]
