The Surge in General

Should we surge or should we go

Gen’ral Petraeus let me know
Should we stay or should we go?
If you say the surge is fine,
We’ll be there til the end of time,
So you got to let me know,
Do we surge or do we go?

It’s all these I-E-Ds,
they’re busy blowing off my knees,
all the insurgents dressed in black,
so if we want to steal Iraq,
well come on and let us know
should we surge or should we go?

This indecisions killing me,
If you want torture set me free,
Exactly whom we’re s’posed to be
Do these electrodes even fit me?
Come on and let me know,
Should we surge or should we blow?

Should we surge or should we go now?
Should we surge or should we go now?
If we leave there will be trouble,
and if we stay it will be double,
so you got to let us know
should we surge or should we blow?

Should we surge or should we go now
