Standing in the well of the chamber,
Trying to get a majority vote.
The men in Iraq said, "We've got to go back".
You know they didn't even give us a chance.
Christ you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
Why did they coronate me.
Finally made a deal on withdrawal,
Buying votes with earmarks and hearings.
Code Pink called to say,
"You can make it O.K.,
You can pull out by October oh-eight.
Christ you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
Why did they coronate me.
Went to New York for fund-raising,
Left my lieutenant in charge.
The newspaper wrote "Why aren't you there for the vote?"
I said, "We're only trying to get us some peace".
Christ you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
Why did they coronate me.
Redeploy the men to Okinawa.
You can fly them back according to Jack.
The men from the press said, "We wish you success,
It's good to have the both of you back".
Christ you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
Why did they coronate me.
The way things are going
Why did they coronate me.
