(That's Why) We Can't Be Looking Back
(Sung to the tune "The Lady Is A Tramp")

"We are turning the corner and we're not looking back."
We've changed our reasons for attacking Iraq.
Who needs to know that we've been on the wrong track?
That's why we can't be looking back.

We lowered taxes but have watched them backfire.
Who knew the deficit would get so much higher?
And that they'd outsource instead of rehire?
That's why we can't be looking back.

We need a huge, new infusion of dough,
Poppy's Saudis say "No!",
So Code Red,
No Club Med.

Hate North Korea for they'd prob'ly fight back
While our econo-army's stuck in Iraq.
Who else conned Cheney? Ev'rybody's lost track.
That's why we can't be looking back.
