You attack us in war and what do you know?
Oil prices up, and stock market low.
Ayatollya so.
Assassinate our leaders, and from this doth flow
Retaliation above and below.
Ayatollya so.
From you to Iran is a tough row to hoe:
Rocks and weeds wherever you go.
Ayatollya so.
Bomb our kids as they sit in a row,
How could you Americans stoop so low?
Ayatollya so.
We weren’t very nice to you many years ago,
And we won’t give up on letting it show.
Ayatollya so.
Ninety million Persians to overthrow;
A culture far older than yours, you know.
Ayatollya so.
Our well-armed proxy archipelago
Attacks your allies in a Mideast floor show.
Ayatollya so.
With oil prices rising, we’re making more dough:
Almost double the profit of a year ago.
Ayatollya so.
You broke off diplomacy, you let it go,
Replaced negotiation with a torpedo.
Ayatollya so.
The world looks on at your puppet show;
You’ve made a mess, and don’t it show.
Ayatollya so.
