Iraq Isn't All That You Want

What You Want by The Rolling Stones)

I saw him at the Yoo-nited Nations,
Fake evidence in his hand,
We all knew it was just a big deception,
Powell sent to lie by The Man.

No, Iraq isn't all that you want.
Iraq isn't all that you want.
Iraq isn't all that you want.
But if you invade anyway
You just might say,
I want Iran.

Oh yeah, hey hey hey, oh...

Can't find no weapons of mass destruction,
It turned out to be just a ruse.
For Halliburton oil production,
With Crashcart Dick Cheney turning the greedy screws.
Sing it to me now...

Iraq isn't all that you want.
Iraq isn't all that you want.
Iraq isn't all that you want.
But when you invade anyway
Then you might say,
We want Iran.

I went down to to the Baghdad drugstore,
Thought there was anthrax in vials.
I was standing in line with Mr. Saddam,
And man he looked pretty wild.
We decided we would both get loaded,
Some yellowcake I thought he said.
I sang my song to Mister Saddam,
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead".

Iraq isn't all that you want.
Iraq isn't all that you want.
Iraq isn't all that you want.
After you invade anyway
Then you just might say,
We want Iran.

I saw Bush today at the reception,
Behind him I saw a bleeding man.
He was practiced in the art of deception,
You could tell by his bloodstained hands.

Iraq isn't all that he wants.
Iraq isn't all that he wants.
Iraq isn't all that he wants.
Iraq isn't all that he wants.
But he invaded anyway,
And now he'll say
We'll take Iran.
