Operation Iraqi Liberation

Tom: C

C
We’ve got a situation and it calls for a solution
                                   G
That upholds our domination of the planet
We’re gonna make our case and we’re gonna make it well
                                        C
But if you don’t like our logic you can can it
We’ll use impeccable intelligence from any country in the world
                             F
As long as we all see eye to eye
                                        C
And if we don’t find quite what we need we know what to do
     G                        C
Just look into the camera and lie


[Chorus]

C7       F                C
It’s Operation Iraqi Liberation
         G              C
Tell me, what does that spell
    F                C
Operation Iraqi Liberation
G       C
O – I – L


[Verse]

C
And we’ll lie about the missiles and the nuclear research
                     G
We’ll lie about uranium
We’ll build military bases and smile for reporters
                       C
As we give away bubble gum
And we’ll lie about bin Laden and his connections with the Saudis
                        F
And we’ll lie about 9-1-1
                                            C
And we’ll lie about the Baathists and their connections to Al Qaeda
   G                    C
Because we know there’s none


[Chorus]

C7       F                C
It’s Operation Iraqi Liberation
         G              C
Tell me, what does that spell
    F                C
Operation Iraqi Liberation
G       C
O – I – L


[Verse]

C
And we’ll lie about the North Koreans and we’ll lie about Iran
                     G
And don’t mention Israel
Keep those nuclear weapons out of this song
                              C
And it will all hold together swell
And now we’ll liberate these people, we’ll liberate their money
                     F
We’ll liberate their soil
                                     C
We’ll liberate their airports, we’ll liberate their harbors
          G              C
And we’ll liberate their oil


[Chorus]

C7       F                C
It’s Operation Iraqi Liberation
         G              C
Tell me, what does that spell
    F                C
Operation Iraqi Liberation
G       C
O – I – L
