Stack ‘em up in a pyramid
Put a cigarette out in their ear
Tie ‘em tight to a waterboard
Make ‘em scream out what you wanna hear
Make ‘em think they’ll get bit by a doggy
Take a picture and shout hip hooray
Long as you don’t hurt internal organs
Everything gonna be OK
Abu Ghraib, Abu Ghraib, where the sand monkeys learn to behave
Abu Ghraib, Abu Ghraib
Abu Ghraib, Abu Ghraib, where bad citizens learn to behave
Abu Ghraib, Abu Ghraib . . .
Learned a lot from the general
But we can’t ever say who he was
Put the blame on the little guy
Say the orders don’t come from above
Say we made up our own methods of torture
Which everyone does the same way
Because we rely on embedded reporters
Make the whole ugly thing go away
I heard on Fox News the other day
That the president just didn’t know
All about WMD
In the north, west, and south and below
Don’t wanna get sent to detention
When they trot out the NDAA
Lots of things that you’d better not mention
Or the government takes you away
