DON'T ASK FOR VOTES FOR ME:

(The results of the November 2005 elections, as though through the lens of Sting.)

George Dubyuh, enabler
Of neocon wet dreams
They want him to invade
Iraq to start their schemes
Rose petals will shower
Our troops who free Baghdad
The neighbors will welcome
The Ba'athist gasser dead

Don't speak, don't campaign
Don't ask for votes for me
Don't speak, don't campaign
Don't ask for votes for me

Bush says we've accomplished
What he set out to do
New free folk ungrateful
With bombs make that untrue
Sly Shiites are gleeful
When Sunni snipers burn
Support comes from Iran
For Sharia's return

Don't speak, don't campaign
Don't ask for votes for me
Don't speak, don't campaign
Don't ask for votes for me

Two thousand flagged boxes
Soon turn the public will
Regrets from loud mothers
Send polls so far downhill
Storm, court, leak -- all pile on
Need for a quick win now
Support for poor Kilgore
His failure swamps the scow

Don't speak, don't campaign
Don't ask for votes for me
Don't speak, don't campaign
Don't ask for votes for me
Don't speak, don't campaign
Don't ask for votes for me
