After We Torture Our Prisoners

We'll get rid of the dictator, rebuild your country

Make sure all your kids go to school

We'll clean up the cities, get the sewage plants running

Institute parliamentary rule

We'll bring you autonomy, senators and judges

And a shiny new blue banner

We'll bring you pride and prosperity, food in your bellies

In every home a phone, fax and scanner

After we torture our prisoners

We'll bring you decades of peace, spiritual release

Free religious expression

You can say what you want in the papers you run

We'll never force a confession

After we torture our prisoners

The oil will flow just where it should go

Across the desert and into the sea

And you'll thank your God and the CIA

That finally you are free

After we torture our prisoners

You'll all be safe with us to protect you

And keep you out of harm's way

You'll thank creation and your liberation

From the dark into a new day

After we torture our prisoners

You can all jump for joy, each girl and boy

And look boldly into the distance

You'll be so happy for all that we've done

For such invaluable assistance

After we torture our prisoners

You won't have to worry about tyrants and bullies

Now that you have sovereignty

You can hold your head high, kiss Saddam goodbye

Say hello to democracy

After we torture our prisoners
