"935 Lies"

"A think tank did the counting 
the number still could rise 
totaled what we were told before the war 
935 lies 
935 falsehoods 
told by our leading guys 

eyes of steel, 
tongues of fork 
935 lies. 

one a day 
it'll take you three years 
to eat up a thousand pies 
but in a year and a half we swallowed whole 
935 lies. 

a thousand clowns is a truckload 
rubber noses to the skies 
but somehow it's not quite as scary as 
935 lies. 

a thousand dollars will buy you 
a pretty good suite at the ritz 
truffle dinner, plenty champagne, 
a custom made suit that fits. 
yeah, a thousand dollars will buy you, 
a pretty nice day at the store, 
but 935 lies will get you, 
a trillion dollar war. 
one thousand points of darkness, 
pointing to a surprise, 
guess what we were led to believe 
935 lies. 

a thousand and one nights were magic, 
filled with amazing tales, 
ali baba and aladdin, 
sinbad and his sails. 
but 935 fictions 
cut scheherazade down to size, 
many more nights in arabia, 
thanks to 935 lies. 
935 falsehoods 
told by our leading guys 
eyes of steel, 
tongues of fork 
935 lies. 

pinnochio's nose kept growing 
cause he refused to get wise. 
so a round of applause for the size of the schnoz 
that told 935 lies. 
a couple hundred thousand iraqis, 
said their early goodbyes. 
it's the gift that keeps on giving, 
thanks to 935 lies. 

935 falsehoods 
told by our leading guys 
eyes of steel, 
tongues of fork 
935 lies."
