The world now sees AMERICA as a threat to all
Those against America point to this threat
Can you hear the radicals call?

Bush played right into their hands
By initiating a sideshow attack
It has left America vulnerable
With new recruits inside Iraq

And the future radical government?
The theocracy of Iraq?
Will, with time, unlike Saddam
Pose a REAL threat of attack

Bush has squandered the chance
The chance to use good will
He created a recruitment machine
Creating terror and a deathly chill

To each and every American soul
For generations without end
What incompetence this is
To weaken and not defend

And the mirage of unconquerable strength?
Where is it now? Where has it gone?
Vanished like water on sand
Dried by the heat of the sun

There will be no further attacks
Iraq was it, there can be no more
With the world now against America
What danger Bush brought to your door

And with the world mistrusting him
What can Bush really do now?
Not much that’s sure
The circumstances won’t allow

He has squandered all America’s hope
With his lies and misguided acts
He is a leader who is lost
Vainly seeking to hide the facts

The mirage cannot be sustained
Because America is weaker still
Seen as a renegade power
Led by the mentally ill

All that well-wishing world
All those who sought to help and sustain
They wanted to support a DECENT plan
They feel nothing but disdain

Bush only led a sideshow
He had no long-term plan
Just a flimsy knee-jerk mirage
That faded on Iraqi land
