A wish and a prayer
It ends in despair
The sadness laid bare
For all
With George Bush you prayed
The world you betrayed
Those mem’ries won’t fade
For me
You wished for success
Make history, no less
But oh, what a mess
You made
You believed what you read,
What the wrong people said,
Now thousands are dead,
For what?
No planning, no thought
Disaster you brought
And chaos you wrought
On us all
‘Twas just for your pride
That so many died
While you merely sighed
No more
A wish and a prayer
So how can you dare
To pretend that you care
At all?
