Steve Forbert - The Baghdad Dream lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] It's enough to make you scream, What a well-mismanaged scheme, Mr. Rumsfeld called the shots, And we all get what we've got, Ah, the Baghdad dream. It's enough to make you ill, As it goes the way, it will, Can you calculate the cost? What's been gained and what's been lost, Ah, the Baghdad Dream. Is your armor qualified to protect you, While you ride down the [Sound of an explosion going off] Take the traffic off the road, So a car bomb don't explode in the [Sound of an explosion going off] Is there hope in all of this, Can Iraqis co-exist in the [Sound of an explosion going off] Is it rotten to the core, Is there nothing else but more of the [Sound of an explosion going off] Do we hafta stay and stay, Can we ever get away from the [Sound of an explosion going off] Is it freedom we've increased or a madder Middle East, What the [Sound of an explosion going off] Mr. Bush can't show remorse, He can only stay the course of his [Sound of an explosion going off] Stick a sticker on your car, For the soldier off at war in the [Sound of an explosion going off] It's a holiday at home, As they soldier on and on in the [Sound of an explosion going off] [Instrumental Interlude] What a long November, With the leaves all fallen down, What a cold December, With the snowflakes on the ground, What a blue, blue Christmas in a decorated town, What a sad, old New Year, When your loved one ain't around, Ain't around. Ah, the Baghdad Dream, Ah, the Baghdad Dream, Ah, the Baghdad Dream.
