Story behind the song
Inspired by Fearless Leader and friends, purveyors of scary fiction. Came to me while I got into a funky cadence while walking my dogs.
Lyrics
Gather round children and listen to me, for the chilling tale of Dr. W, M.D. For hypochondria and psychosomatism, he can cure those ills with no rhyme or rhythm He conjured that the source of all wordly pain was a big bad dude named Saddam Hussein Now that cat, for being bad, needed no instruction Or a warehouse full o’weapons of mass destruction But Dr. W gave us all his diagnosis, Kind of short on facts but tall on hoaxes Cheney, Condoleezza, Rumsfeld and Powell Joined in the chorus and began to howl: “We gotta go to war, we just can’t wait If Saddam survives we face an awful fate Chemicals and germs and nucular too If we don’t take him out he’ll set ‘em loose on you!” No matter that inspectors couldn’t seem to find ‘em UN resolutions? No need to mind ‘em Iraq has never ever been Osama’s station But that’s the place that Dr. W’s marked for amputation So he rallies all the fools up on the hill: “To keep democracy strong we simply have to kill, And since we need a place to launch an attack We might discover oil if we drill Iraq” In Germany and Russia and even France They’re thinking Dr. W’s got ants in his pants Or some kind of rash to make his trigger finger itch Or maybe that he’s just another son of a Bush So we sent clever bombs and brave GIs But those stockpiles never did materialize Instead of calming down the masses to quiet our fears Osama’s got himself a lot more volunteers But Dr. W. don’t take no second opinions He’s happy with the lies, and so are his minions He’s just a cunning seller of misperception: And he loves to use his weapons of mass deception

joseph, that's killer! One of your best, and the rap approach is perfect for the subject - a gangsta! Great guitar lines and tones. jay
