Shia
To be sung to Johnny Mercer & Davud Saskin's
"Laura"
(Laura is the face in the misty light.)

Shia were his friends who provoked the fight,
Missteps that Bush hates to recall.
His gaffe, back then, was he thought he might
Take Baghdad and be done with it all.

But we see Shia
Now maintain they should be free to do
Ethnic cleansing while we fuss and fume.
But post-Bush and his flopperoo,
Goodbye, Shia –
Sadr City, ka-boom!
